Organisers have said that the Indian Premier League (IPL) will resume on May 17 following the announcement of a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, Reuters reports.

The IPL still has 12 group matches left, which will be played in the cities of Bengaluru, Jaipur, Delhi, Lucknow, Mumbai and Ahmedabad.

“After extensive consultations with government and security agencies, and with all the key stakeholders, the board has decided to proceed with the remainder of the season,” India’s cricket board said in a statement.

“A total of 17 matches will be played across 6 venues, starting May 17, 2025, and culminating in the final on June 3, 2025. The revised schedule includes two double-headers, which will be played on two Sundays.

“Venue details for the playoff matches will be announced at a later stage.”
