The venues for the qualifiers and final will be announced at a later stage.

On Friday, the IPL was suspended for a week because of an increase in hostilities between the neighbouring south Asian countries.

A day later a ceasefire was announced, with IPL organisers announcing the tournament's resumption on Monday.

There are 16 IPL games remaining, with the final originally scheduled to be held on May 16.

Unknown whether English IPL players will feature following resumption

It is yet unclear whether the English cricket stars who have been involved in this year's IPL will continue to play following the resumption.

Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Liam Livingstone, Phil Salt, Jacob Bethell, Will Jacks, Reece Topley, Sam Curran, and Jamie Overton have all featured in the 2025 competition.

The BCCI has also been contacted for comment.
