The revised dates of the 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) have heavily impacted the West Indies and England. The BCCI on Monday night announced revised schedule after the world's richest franchise T20 league came to a halt last week due to rising India-Pakistan tensions in the aftermath of Pahalgam terror attack.

The remaining 17 matches will be played across six venues, starting on May 17 with the final to be played on June 3. The IPL 2025 revised schedule includes two double-headers, to be played on two Sundays.
