Indian cricket will decide what happens to the rest of the IPL season, a senior official said, after deadly confrontations between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan, AFP reports.

An Indian Premier League match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala — less than 200 kilometres (125 miles) from the town of Jammu, where explosions were reported hours earlier — was abandoned yesterday because of apparent floodlight failure.

Sunday’s game between Punjab and Mumbai Indians, which had been due to take place in Dharamsala, has been moved.

“We are monitoring the situation, seeking the government’s advice, and will take the final decision on the IPL tomorrow,” Rajeev Shukla, vice-president of cricket board the BCCI, told The Indian Express on Thursday.

“The situation is changing day by day. We will do whatever we are told and inform all stakeholders.

“At the moment, our priority is the safety of all players, fans and stakeholders.” The newspaper — without disclosing its sources — said that the BCCI is “keeping its options open”, with suspending the world’s richest cricket league or revising its itinerary among possible options.
