IPL, PSL Suspended Indefinitely Amid Security Crisis

Rising military tensions and cross-border hostilities between India and Pakistan have led to the indefinite suspension of both the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The IPL was halted after a match in Dharamsala was abandoned due to security threats, prompting emergency evacuations and an initial week-long suspension, with further delays possible. The PSL's remaining matches were also postponed after drone and missile strikes near stadiums, following advice from government authorities. Both leagues have faced pressure from foreign players concerned about safety, and stakeholders are exploring rescheduling options such as moving the IPL to the UK or using a September window if the Asia Cup is canceled. Cricket stars like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have publicly supported national security priorities, and ticket refunds for suspended matches have begun. The global cricket community remains on edge as it awaits further developments.
