Questionable Move By The BCCI, IPL 2025 To Resume After Cosmetic Pause As India Counters Ceasefire Violations

The Indian Premier League extravaganza, which was suspended amid cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan, has received a green signal to be resumed. After the tournament was halted abruptly during the PBKS vs DC clash at Dharamsala, the remaining matches will happen soon. The news has spread joy among cricket fans eagerly waiting for the season's resumption. However, the season's resumption might be a disputed subject given that India and Pakistan's already strained diplomatic ties have fallen to an all-time low. The move by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) may look questionable to many.

Resuming IPL 2025 Amid Cross-Border Tensions A Fair Move?

India continues to remain in a sensitive stage as continuous ceasefire violations from Pakistan have made things worse. As they continue to pull off cheap shenanigans, the BCCI has decided to resume the IPL 2025 season, which had to be suspended briefly due to the ongoing situation with Pakistan.

While the move is expected to be welcomed by several fans, some of them may question the current situation that the country is going through. As Pakistan continues to violate the ceasefire, it may not be safe to host a massive gathering and have players, including overseas stars, in action.

However, it looks like the BCCI and IPL have ensured everything regarding the fans and players' safety in the stadium. In the media advisory, they have mentioned having extensive consultations with the security agencies and the government before mutually agreeing to proceed with the remainder of the season.  

"The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is pleased to announce the resumption of the TATA IPL 2025. After extensive consultations with government and security agencies, and with all the key stakeholders, the Board has decided to proceed with the remainder of the season," the statement from the IPL mentioned.
