"Call All...": BCCI's Blunt Message Franchises As IPL 2025 Restart Looms

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has informed the ten Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises to call all their foreign players to return to India, as a decision on the resumption of the 18th edition of the cash-rich league is coming soon, according to BCCI sources. Last week, the BCCI announced that the remainder of the tournament was suspended for a week, citing the cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan. After the cessation of hostilities on Saturday, reports suggested IPL is on the verge of resumption.

BCCI sources on Monday revealed that the tournament is close to returning to cricket fans' routine lives and said, "BCCI have informed all IPL franchises to call all their foreign players to return as a decision on the resumption of IPL is coming soon."

After tensions escalated between the two neighbouring nations, the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamshala was called off midway through the first innings last Thursday. Spectators were informed of the cancellation and asked to vacate the premises, while both teams were escorted back to their hotel.

According to recent developments, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad have been picked as the venues for the remaining 16 fixtures for the 18th season. Recently, a BCCI source revealed a possibility of a change in the venue for the final.

Originally, the final was set to take place on May 25 at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. However, due to the rain prediction, a decision can be made to change the venue for the trophy-deciding fixture.

"The final venue could be changed as rain can affect the matches in Kolkata later, so this call will be taken accordingly," a BCCI official told ANI.

Overall, 57 matches were completed in IPL 2025, and the 58th fixture between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was called off after 10.1 overs.

Citing recent incidents like the Nuh riots and the killing of four persons by a railway police jawan on a running train, Ahmed Bukhari suggested in his Friday sermon at the historic mosque that PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah hold dialogue with intellectuals from the community. "I have been compelled to speak due to the existing situation in the country. The situation in the country is worrisome and a storm of hatred is posing grave danger to peace in the country," Ahmed Bukhari said. "You say your 'Mann Ki Baat' but you also need to listen to the 'Mann Ki Baat' of Muslims. The Muslims are troubled due to the prevailing conditions and worried about their future," Ahmed Bukhari said, referring to PM Modi's monthly radio pro...
