Key Details:

• The remaining 12 league-stage matches will be rescheduled. So far, 58 matches have been completed.

• Revised fixtures and further updates will be shared after a thorough security assessment.

• All teams and players have been informed. Arrangements are being made to send both Indian and overseas players home safely.

National Solidarity:

In a strong show of support, the BCCI affirmed its solidarity with the Indian government and armed forces, who continue to defend the nation under Operation Sindoor.

“We salute the bravery of our soldiers who are risking their lives to protect the country. Cricket stands united with the nation during this critical time.”

Recent Incident:
