Officials from the Indian cricket board are reportedly in discussions to restart the Indian Premier League (IPL) after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire following days of deadly border conflict.

The nuclear-armed neighbours declared an end to hostilities on Saturday. In response, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Devajit Saikia told Cricbuzz that the board is "closely monitoring the evolving situation."

Saikia added that a decision on resuming the IPL would be made after consulting all stakeholders and relevant government authorities.

BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla confirmed to Indian media that a key meeting would take place on Sunday to determine the league’s next steps.

The IPL was suspended on Friday for one week, a day after the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was abandoned in Dharamsala. The venue lies less than 200 kilometres (125 miles) from Jammu, where multiple explosions were reported earlier that day.

In light of security concerns, a special train was arranged on Friday to transport players back to Delhi, as airspace restrictions were enforced. Meanwhile, several overseas players began returning to their home countries on Saturday.

By Sunday, franchises were reportedly reaching out to their overseas players and coaching staff to prepare for a potential restart. According to ESPNcricinfo, the league could resume around May 15 if government approval is granted.

Twelve regular-season matches remain, in addition to three playoff games and the final, originally scheduled for May 25.

India and Pakistan have fought three full-scale wars since their independence from British rule in 1947—two of them over the disputed territory of Kashmir, which both nations claim in full but govern separately.

Tensions escalated sharply after India launched missile strikes on Wednesday in response to a deadly attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir two weeks earlier, which New Delhi blames on Pakistan. Islamabad has denied involvement.

At least 60 people have been killed on both sides of the border since Wednesday, marking the deadliest escalation between the South Asian rivals in decades.
