With the IPL 2025 set to resume on May 17 following a week-long suspension, the BCCI and franchise officials are actively engaging with foreign cricket boards to ensure the return of overseas players.

The suspension, triggered by escalating military tensions between India and Pakistan after the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, was lifted after a ceasefire was announced. Following this, the Indian government granted the necessary security clearances, allowing the league to announce its revised schedule.
