BCCI Holds Emergency Meeting Amid Border Tensions: Is IPL 2025 in Danger?
In the wake of escalating tensions along the India-Pakistan border, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has called an emergency meeting to discuss the possible cancellation of the IPL 2025. With concerns over player safety rising, the BCCI is considering this drastic step to ensure the well-being of all involved. Reports indicate that Thursday's IPL match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) in Dharamshala was abruptly cancelled following airstrike alerts in neighboring Jammu and Pathankot, further intensifying the situation.
As per sources, the ongoing border conflict, including recent missile strikes by India on terror bases in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, has raised significant security concerns. Over 26 people lost their lives in recent attacks, prompting BCCI to prioritize the safety of players, especially international participants. The league's future now hangs in the balance, awaiting the outcomes of today’s emergency discussions.
