“The BCCI stands firmly with the nation at this critical time,” said a spokesperson from the Board. “We express our solidarity with the Government of India, the Armed Forces, and the people of our country.

Their heroic response to the recent terrorist attack and Pakistan’s unwarranted aggression is a source of immense pride.”

The BCCI also stressed that while cricket remains a national passion, the country’s sovereignty, integrity, and security are paramount. The Board reaffirmed its commitment to supporting efforts that safeguard the nation, and it promised to make all decisions in alignment with the country’s best interests.

In addition, the BCCI extended its gratitude to Jiostar, the official broadcaster of the IPL, for their understanding and unwavering support during this time. The Board also thanked its title sponsor, TATA, and all other associate partners and stakeholders for putting national interests above all else and demonstrating strong support for this decision.

As the situation continues to unfold, the BCCI has assured the public that further updates on the IPL schedule will be announced once the full assessment is complete.
