The IPL 2025 is set to resume following the ceasefire announcement between India and Pakistan. The tournament came to a halt during the match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals on May 8. The play was suspended during the first inings and the players were brought to Delhi from Dharamsala.
A day later, the BCCI suspended IPL for a week due to the tensions between India and Pakistan. The tournament is now set to resume and the 59th match of IPL 2025 could be played on May 16 or 17.
Gujarat Titans (GT) has become the first team to resume training. The Times of India has reported that the GT players trained at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday (May 11). Jos Buttler and Gerald Coetzee returned home but they will come back as required, an official told TOI.
Many foreign players and coaches left for their countries but that wasn't the case in the Punjab Kings' (PBKS) camp. Ricky Ponting, the PBKS' head coach, deboarded the plane to Australia after the ceasefire came into effect. He also gave a pep talk to the overseas players. PBKS all-rounder, Marco Jansen flew to Dubai and will be back to play the remainder of the tournament.
