NEW DEL­HI – The In­di­an Pre­mier League (IPL) is prepar­ing to restart af­ter a week-long sus­pen­sion caused by es­ca­lat­ing ten­sions be­tween In­dia and Pak­istan.

A re­vised sched­ule is ex­pect­ed to be an­nounced in the com­ing days, with or­gan­is­ers con­sid­er­ing ad­just­ments such as re­duc­ing the num­ber of venues or sched­ul­ing more dou­ble-head­ers to com­plete the re­main­ing 16 match­es.

The tour­na­ment was orig­i­nal­ly set to con­clude on May 25. The IPL, the world’s largest fran­chise crick­et league, was paused last Fri­day as se­cu­ri­ty con­cerns grew amid hos­til­i­ties be­tween the two neigh­bour­ing na­tions.

How­ev­er, a cease­fire an­nounced on Sat­ur­day has held so far, and high-lev­el dis­cus­sions be­tween In­di­an and Pak­istani of­fi­cials took place on Mon­day, eas­ing con­cerns.

Mean­while, the Pak­istan Su­per League (PSL), which had been re­lo­cat­ed to the UAE be­fore be­ing post­poned in­def­i­nite­ly, is al­so work­ing on resched­ul­ing its fi­nal eight match­es.

While sev­er­al Eng­lish and Aus­tralian play­ers de­part­ed In­dia fol­low­ing the IPL’s sus­pen­sion, oth­er over­seas play­ers, in­clud­ing West In­di­ans, re­mained.

Gu­jarat Ti­tans, the cur­rent league lead­ers, even held train­ing ses­sions over the week­end in prepa­ra­tion for the po­ten­tial re­sump­tion.

He shared, “Father’s Day means having two beautiful daughters and waking up every day to them saying, ‘Love you, Daddy.’” “Becoming a father changed my life in many ways. With fatherhood came greater responsibility—and even greater love. The best part of having two girls is the constant love and kisses I get every single day.”
