The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has been suspended indefinitely due to escalating military conflict between India and Pakistan. The decision was confirmed by a Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) official after Operation Sindoor, a series of Indian military strikes in response to a deadly attack in Kashmir.

The suspension follows the abandonment of the IPL match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala, which was halted when Punjab Kings were 1-122 due to security concerns and floodlights being turned off. Players and staff were evacuated from the stadium and transported to Delhi by special train, as airports in the region were closed as a precaution.

A BCCI emergency meeting was convened, and sources indicated that all foreign players would be sent home. The league's suspension was decided after consultation with government authorities and in light of ongoing cross-border attacks.

Separately, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has moved all remaining matches of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) to the United Arab Emirates, following an attack near the Rawalpindi cricket venue and the postponement of a PSL match there. The PCB cited security concerns for both domestic and foreign players.
