England Ready to Host IPL 2025! Former Captain Michael Vaughan Writes to BCCI
Former England captain Michael Vaughan has suggested that the remaining matches of IPL 2025 be shifted to the UK amid the ongoing suspension.
In a fresh twist to the ongoing IPL 2025 season, former England captain Michael Vaughan has suggested that the remaining matches be shifted to the UK. His idea comes at a time when the cash-rich league has been suspended due to rising security concerns between India and Pakistan.
“I wonder if it’s possible to finish the IPL in the UK .. We have all the venues and the Indian players can then stay on for the Test series .. Just a thought?” Vaughan shared on social media, sparking a debate among cricket fans.
The BCCI officially suspended IPL season 18 for one week, leaving just 12 matches pending in the league stage. This sudden pause has left franchises and fans anxious, as teams were locked in tight battles for the playoff spots.
The uncertainty now raises questions about how this decision might affect the qualification chances of each side. The dramatic suspension was finalised after a high-level video conference involving senior BCCI officials, including Saikia and IPL chairman Arun Dhumal.
As per a report by ESPNcricinfo, the officials unanimously agreed that continuing the IPL during such tense times would be inappropriate and insensitive.
Chaos soon followed. At exactly 2:40 PM IST, franchises were informed about the suspension, moments before the news went public. Teams quickly began disbanding, with players and support staff rushing to catch flights from their respective host cities or heading back to their home bases.
As the cricketing world waits for BCCI’s next move, Vaughan’s suggestion has opened up an alternative path. With just a dozen matches left, relocating the remainder of the season overseas might help wrap up IPL 2025 without further delays.
