The Indian Premier League is set to resume on Saturday, with 17 remaining games to be held across six venues.
The T20 tournament – comfortably the richest event in cricket – was suspended last week amid the ramping up of military hostilities between India and Pakistan.
It remains to be seen how many overseas players, including the 10 English players contracted to franchises, will be tempted back having left the region as tensions between the nuclear powers escalated.
The matches are scheduled for Bengaluru, Jaipur, Lucknow, Mumbai and Ahmedabad – with Dharamsala notable by its absence after the last game before the hiatus was abandoned in dramatic fashion.
🗓️ #TATAIPL 2025 action is all set to resume on 17th May 🙌
The remaining League-Stage matches will be played across 6⃣ venues 🏟️
The highly anticipated Final will take place on 3rd June 🏆

The destination of the knockout games and final have yet to be determined but the final has been rescheduled for June 3.
Devajit Saikia, secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, said in a statement: “The 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 BCCI takes this opportunity to once again salute the bravery and resilience of India’s armed forces, whose efforts have enabled the safe return of cricket.
“The Board reaffirms its commitment to national interest while ensuring the successful completion of the league.”
The Pakistan Super League is reportedly set to follow suit and announce a plan to complete its remaining eight matches in the country.
Although there is no official word from the Pakistan Cricket Board, media in the country have reported that the competition is set to resume following a meeting of officials on Monday.
Overseas players, many of whom have left the country, will not be obliged to return, and there is a possibility that all remaining fixtures will take place at one specific venue for security reasons, according to the reports.
The PCB had originally revealed plans to complete its season in the United Arab Emirates after hostilities broke out last week.
