The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is looking at the possibility of starting the suspended Indian Premier League (IPL) ‘immediately’ after India and Pakistan announced a ceasefire on Saturday, IPL chairman Arun Dhumal said.

“Ceasefire has just been announced. We now explore the possibility of resuming and concluding the IPL. If it is possible to conduct it immediately… We need to work out the venue dates and everything, and we would now be speaking to all the stakeholders, including team owners, broadcasters, and everyone involved and find a way as to how to move forward. Most importantly, we will have to consult with the government,” Dhumal told The Indian Express.
