IANS understands the schedule for the remainder of fixtures can be released as early as Sunday, following India and Pakistan agreeing to a ceasefire. A source confirmed to IANS that the biggest challenge facing the teams ahead is convincing foreign players to return to play the tournament after a safe passage for their exit was devised.
"We believe that the new tournament schedule could come either tomorrow or in the next few days. But a lot of international players have already flown back, and convincing them to fly back to India to play is the biggest challenge."
"One has to understand that it takes time for players to return and play in reorganised IPL 2025 matches."
"Also, all of the remaining games have to be completed before May 25, because India 'A' squad has to leave for their tour of England," said another BCCI source to IANS.
