IPL 2025 Schedule Update
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially revealed the revised schedule for the remaining matches of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The tournament, which was halted on May 9 amidst increasing tensions between India and Pakistan, is set to resume on May 17 and will conclude with the final match on June 3.
Match Locations and Details
In a statement released on Monday, the BCCI clarified that the remaining matches would take place across six venues: Bengaluru, Jaipur, Delhi, Lucknow, Mumbai, and Ahmedabad. Seventeen matches will be conducted in total, comprising 13 league matches and four playoffs.
Double-Headers Scheduled
Two double-headers are planned for consecutive Sundays. The first double-header will occur on May 18, featuring Rajasthan Royals (RR) against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at 3:30 PM IST, followed by Delhi Capitals (DC) versus Gujarat Titans (GT) later that evening.
Effects of IPL Rescheduling
The IPL’s postponement will result in an overlap with the ODI series between England and the West Indies, which starts on May 29 in Birmingham and culminates on June 3 in The Oval. This clash is anticipated to cause scheduling issues for several West Indies players, including Romario Shepherd (RCB) and Sherfane Rutherford (GT), who are part of the ODI squad.
Tight Scheduling with WTC Final
The adjusted IPL timetable also reduces the time span between the IPL final and the World Test Championship (WTC) final, which will take place between Australia and South Africa at Lord’s starting on June 11. Only a week will separate the final match of the IPL and the WTC final.
Other Match Rescheduling
Furthermore, the previously abandoned match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals on May 8 will now be rescheduled for May 24 in Jaipur. Punjab Kings will also hold their last two matches in Jaipur, as Mohali is not included among the resumed tournament locations.
