India’s cricket board is considering suspending the popular Indian Premier League (IPL) T20 tournament amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan, a source with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Friday.
IPL chairman Arun Singh Dhumal and the Indian cricket board’s (BCCI) secretary Devajit Saikia did not respond to Reuters calls and messages seeking comment, Reuters reported.
The nuclear-armed neighbours have been locked in conflict since Wednesday, when India targeted multiple locations in Pakistan, claiming they were “terrorist infrastructure” in response to a deadly attack in Kashmir last month.

India’s army said Pakistan’s armed forces carried out ” multiple attacks ” using drones and other munitions across the entire western border on Thursday night and early Friday, a claim Pakistan denied.
