BCCI is keeping a careful eye on the situation
With five days left, we are currently on the second day of the seven-day IPL suspension that the BCCI ordered yesterday. The BCCI is closely monitoring the evolving situation and developments and will take a call on IPL resumption after consulting all stakeholders of the IPL and the concerned government authorities,” BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia told Cricbuzz, only hours after India and Pakistan established a ceasefire.
Consultation with the Government Prior to Resumption

The Value of Official Approval
Before choosing a start date, it will also be prudent and necessary to obtain the Indian government’s assent given the importance of the IPL at this time. The BCCI will suitably announce the IPL’s return date after everything is complete.
