IPL 2025 is expected to resume this week following a brief hiatus amid cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan. Reports indicated that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has instructed all 10 franchises to finalise their squads by May 13, with the potential restart set for May 16. The IPL final is now reportedly slated for May 30.

Several overseas players had departed India after the IPL suspension, but many are anticipated to return for the final leg of the season. Meanwhile, the Pakistan Super League 2025, which was running concurrently with the IPL, was indefinitely suspended after failed attempts to resume the remainder of the season in the UAE.
