The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has suspended the 2025 IPL season for a week amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan. The decision comes after a militant attack in Pahalgam killed Indian tourists, prompting missile retaliation by India. A recent power outage at Dharamshala Stadium, near the border, during the Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals match raised further safety concerns. After consultations with teams and officials, the BCCI prioritized player and public safety. Meanwhile, the Pakistan Super League (PSL) has also been moved to the UAE due to the deteriorating security situation. (The Hindu)
