IPL 2025 Can Be Completed Outside India? England Great Says "Have All The..."

The BCCI decided to suspend the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 for a week amid the growing tensions between India and Pakistan. The decision was reportedly taken after concerns shown by both franchises as well as the foreign players. While nothing concrete has been announced regarding the future of the tournament, IPL sources said that a meeting will be held in a week's time to decide on the new venues as well as the schedule of the competition. Former England captain Michael Vaughan suggested that the competition can be finished in the United Kingdom as it has all the necessary infrastructure needed. He also said that the Indian players can stay back for the upcoming Test series.

"I wonder if it's possible to finish the IPL in the UK .. We have all the venues and the Indian players can then stay on for the Test series .. Just a thought ?" he posted on X (formerly Twitter).

The decision was taken by the BCCI on Friday after cross-border tensions intensified on Thursday night, leading to blackouts in Jammu, Udhampur and Pathankot, as air strikes and drones from Pakistan took over the skies. It led to the game between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals being called off at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala after just 10.1 overs of the first innings was completed.

With the airport in Dharamshala and other north Indian cities closed, the players and support staff members of both PBKS and DC, along with match officials, commentators, broadcast crew members and other key IPL-related personnel were evacuated from Dharamshala by a bus taking them to Jalandhar on Friday
