New Delhi: According to Espncricinfo, Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad were selected as the venue for the remaining 16 fixtures (IPL) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and will be selected as the Indian Premier League Season 18 (IPL) if the tournament resumes in May after a week’s pause in the match, according to Espncricinfo. According to Espncricinfo, IPL has selected three venues in southern Indian cities in case the Indian government nods to resume the game. On Friday, BCCI announced that the game will be suspended for a week due to rising cross-border tensions between the two neighboring countries. Several team officials told Espncricinfo that the rest of the game could be played later this year. In the current situation, the biggest challenge facing BCCI is bringing back players overseas. After the suspension was announced, the team began to disband and the players began to obtain the next flight to their respective destinations. According to Espncricinfo, most overseas players are expected to fly out of India before the end of Saturday. With the game going back later in May, the team remains optimistic about the return of overseas players. However, they cannot guarantee that the game will exceed the May 25 window, the date the IPL 2025 final was originally scheduled for Eden in Kolkata. Several players will participate in their bilateral commitments and the World Test Championship final between Australia and South Africa, which will be held in Lord on June 11. Overall, IPL completed 57 games in 2025, with the 58th match of the Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala both following 10.1 times.
