The IPL 2025 was paused for a week due to the India-Pakistan tensions. This prompted the BCCI to announce a revised schedule for the remaining 17 matches. According to the updated schedule, the league stage will now conclude on May 27, with the final match on June 03.
However, the revised schedule clashes with the international cricket calendar, notably England’s tour of the West Indies starting on May 29 and the World Test Championship final scheduled for June 11. Additionally, some players have opted out of the tournament due to personal reasons.
