New Delhi [India] May 9 (ANI): Former Indian cricketer Madan Lal believed the Board Control of Cricket In India (BCCI) made a good decision to suspend the Indian Premier League (IPL), considering the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan.

"Look, the BCCI has taken a good decision. At present, our country India, is fighting Pakistan, so I don't think it's a good thing if we continue the IPL. Then we can wait for the rest of the decision, the BCCI should take only after consulting the government," Madan Lal told ANI.

BCCI has decided to suspend the remainder of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 with immediate effect for one week. Further updates regarding the new schedule and venues of the tournament will be announced in due course after a comprehensive assessment of the situation in consultation with relevant authorities and stakeholders.

The decision was taken by the IPL Governing Council after due consultation with all key stakeholders following the representations from most of the franchisees, who conveyed the concern and sentiments of their players, and also the views of the broadcaster, sponsors and fans.
