Cancelled IPL 2025 Games To Be Played In September: Sources
The IPL 2025 matches, which were called off due to escalating India-Pakistan border crisis, are expected to resume in September later this year.
Asia Cup 2025, scheduled for September 2025, might get canceled due to same reason. The tournament features teams from across Asia, including India and Pakistan. However, given the current geopolitical tensions, the chances of these two nations participating in any sporting event together are virtually zero.
With India and Sri Lanka as the joint hosts of Asia Cup 2025, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) may consider rescheduling IPL to coincide with this period.

BCCI on Friday (May 9) made the big decision to suspend the remaining matches of IPL 2025 amid India-Pakistan border conflict.
On Thursday evening, drone attacks launched by Pakistan on several Indian cities led to the cancellation of Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals match in Dharamsala. Following the indefinite suspension of IPL, BCCI's current focus is on facilitating the safe return of foreign players. New dates for the remaining matches are expected to be announced soon.
