India suspends its top cricket tournament, the IPL, for a week amid military tensions with Pakistan

  • The IPL Governing Council suspended the remainder of the 2025 Indian Premier League for one week starting immediately amid rising India-Pakistan tensions.
  • The decision followed consultations with franchisees, broadcasters, sponsors, fans, and relevant authorities due to escalating violence and security concerns in Kashmir.
  • This suspension followed India’s missile strikes in Islamabad-administered Kashmir, carried out as a response to a fatal attack two weeks earlier that resulted in the deaths of 26 tourists.
  • At least 48 people have died on both sides since Wednesday, and Cricket Australia stated it is staying in touch with its players and support personnel who are present in the area.
  • The IPL board will announce a new schedule and venues after assessing the situation, while Pakistan's T20 league has already moved remaining matches to the UAE for player safety.
