CEO Kashi Vishwanath of Chennai Super Kings
The IPL 2025 was stopped in the middle due to military tension between India and Pakistan and many foreign players returned home. Now ceasefire has been announced by consensus between the two countries. In such a situation, the new schedule of IPL has also been announced. Franchisees are still seen in a state of disgrace with foreign players. Top BCCI officials have asked Hemang Amin, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of IPL to remove security related concerns by talking to Cricket Australia, England and Wales Cricket Board themselves.
Contact with foreign players: Kashi Vishwanath
A BCCI official said that we are talking to the foreign board privately while the team is directly in touch with its players. We hope that most of the players will return. Chennai Super Kings CEO Kashi Vishwanath said that the revised program was announced last night. We are contacting our foreign players. Only then will the picture be cleared. Our match is on May 20, so there is a long time. The Chennai Super Kings team has already been out of the playoff race.
Cricket Australia leaves decision on players
Cricket Australia has left the decision to return to India or not to the players. In such a situation, Pat Cummins and Travis Head are likely to return. Both these Sunrisers play for Hyderabad and they have been out of the playoff race. The name of these two players is also included in the Australian Test Squad, which will play the final of the World Test Championship against South Africa on 11 June.
Screw for Jose Butler
It will be difficult for Jose Butler, who has played an important role in the success of Gujarat Titans. Butler has a challenge to choose one in playing for the IPL and the country. The England team is to participate in the limited overs series against the West Indies from 29 May, while the IPL 2025 final will be held on June 3, according to the new schedule. In such a situation, it will be difficult for Butler to play in the playoff matches.
