The report claimed that Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam and Kolkata are being considered as the tournament venue. Those places are not close to the areas affected by the stress of India and Pakistan and it can allegedly convince foreign players to return. Amid the ongoing tension, IPL 2025 was suspended for a week and the BCCI said that further calls would be taken after a meeting with stakeholders. According to the report, sources claimed that the two -week window would not be sufficient to finish the tournament and BCCI could resume in September.
