IPL 2025 resumes with major changes. Learn about the new schedule, missing players, and updated venues in this detailed, simple blog post.
Why IPL 2025 Was Paused
The IPL had to pause due to rising border tensions between India and Pakistan. Safety came first. The BCCI acted quickly to protect players and fans.
Changes in the Schedule and Venues
Some matches had to be rescheduled. Also, four venues were dropped – Dharamsala, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Chennai. The remaining games will take place at six safe stadiums across India.
You can always trust the BCCI to adapt, and they did just that. Fans are still guaranteed a thrilling end to the season.
Star Players Missing Out
Sadly, not all players will return for the rest of the tournament. Here’s a quick look:
- Will Jacks (Mumbai Indians) will not return. He’s joining the England squad for their upcoming series.
- Mitchell Starc (Delhi Capitals) won’t play any more matches. He’s withdrawn due to personal reasons.
- Josh Hazlewood (RCB) is coming back. He’s set to boost their pace attack.
- Faf du Plessis (Delhi Capitals) had been expected to return, but recent updates show he might stay out too.
