IPL 2025 from March 23: BCCI

BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla on Sunday said that the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will get underway from March 23. Shukla made the announcement after the BCCI Special General Meeting in Mumbai on Sunday.
During the meet, Devajit Saikia and Prabhtej Singh Bhatia were elected as the new BCCI secretary and treasurer respectively. They were both elected unopposed after being the only ones to file nomination for the posts vacated by Jay Shah and Ashish Shelar. The IPL will follow the International Cricket Council’s Code of Conduct regulation for participating players during the upcoming season which will start on March 21 while the Women’s Premier League will be played across four cities, the governing council decided on Sunday. While  Rajeev Shukla had told mediapersons that the cash-rich league will commence from March 23, a senior GC member clarified that it will start either on March 20 or 21.
“From now on, ICC’s sanctioned penalties will be imposed for Level 1, 2 or 3 offences. Till date, IPL had its own Code of Conduct but going forward, Playing Conditions will be followed as per ICC T20I regulations,” an IPL GC member said on conditions of anonymity. Meanwhile, the four centres where Women’s Premier League matches will be held are: Lucknow, Mumbai, Baroda and Bengaluru.
