The Indian Premier League and Pakistan Super League’s postponement has begun due to the tension between India and Pakistan. The Australian players have started their return. The Indian Premier League has been postponed for a week due to increasing tension with Pakistan.
Indian officials announced on Friday that the league would be postponed for a week with immediate effect. Cricket Australian sources said that after this information, Pakistan Super League postponed its remaining matches, before it had announced the transfer to the United Arab Emirates. The development took place after the cancellation of the IPL match in Dharamshala.
Players are facing many obstacles in leaving the country due to the closure of the airport. Some players have to travel for eight hours before the flight and a bus for four hours. After the cancellation of the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals, a special train service was started to bring IPL players and employees as well as commentators and production crew back from Dharamshala to Delhi.
Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg said, “Security of our players and employees is always a main priority and we support the BCCI’s decision. We continue to work closely with the Australian Government, PCB and BCCI and maintain regular communication with players and cooperative employees in both India and Pakistan.”

The suspension of the IPL will also raise many questions, including whether this attractive league can resume after a week or resume this year. If it starts again, there is no guarantee that foreign players will come back and be available. There are about 12 games left in the regular session, as well as the final series of four matches. Questions will also be raised about the payment of the players, as all teams have two matches left to play.
Some Australian players were keen to go out of the country, but they were also concerned about what it could mean for future opportunities if they leave the league before they were suspended.
