The 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League is very likely to resume either by Thursday or maximum Friday. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is in a huddle to finalise the details and remaining fixtures, and it's reliably understood that except Dharamsala, matches will be played pan-India.
The move comes after India agreed to a ceasefire after Pakistan reached out to them earlier in the day. The Indian cricket board had suspended the cash-rich league due to cross-border tensions but normalcy will now take over. Overseas players of every franchise are on their way back home but will be asked to rejoin their respective teams at the earliest.

Every franchise will now commence their arrangements and wait for the detailed directive from the Indian cricket board.
"Yes the overseas players were panicking but it was more because of the airport shutdown and all. They patiently listened to the franchises and had full confidence but it was the fear of international airports getting shut which triggered a lot of panic," says a source tracking developments.
The Delhi Capitals-Punjab Kings fixture in Dharamsala was halted midway and there is a possibility of the fixture getting a restart when the tournament resumes next week. As far as other games are concerned, the IPL Governing Council will be finalising the detailed fixtures for seamless resumption of the IPL.
