Bengal Pro T20 League Season 2 postponed by CAB for an indefinite time

The impact of the cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan is also visible in the cricketing activities in India. After the suspension of IPL 2025 for one week by the BCCI, Bengal’s state cricket governing body, Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB), has decided to postpone the second season of the Bengal Pro T20 League for an uncertain time.

The development was confirmed by a press release from CAB on Friday, May 9. The updated schedule for the tournament’s second edition will be revealed by the association after a proper consultation with the relevant government authorities.

This news came just a few hours after the BCCI suspended the IPL 2025 on Friday. Earlier on Thursday, May 8, the 58th game of the tournament between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala was called off midway due to security reasons and rising cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan.

I am sure the BCCI will complete it – Sourav Ganguly on IPL 2025

Meanwhile, the former CAB president and former BCCI president, Sourav Ganguly, also spoke about BCCI’s decision to postpone the Indian Premier League 2025. He looked quite optimistic and believed that the Indian Cricket Board is capable of conducting the remainder of the tournament very smoothly at any alternate venue.

“I have seen today that the IPL is suspended for 7 days. The BCCI will complete this. BCCI is efficient. During COVID, it was another emergency. I am sure the BCCI will complete it. A COVID-like situation is different. BCCI will work as per the Indian government guidelines,” Sourav Ganguly was quoted as saying by India Today.

After the postponement of the Indian Premier League 2025 and Bengal Pro T20 League’s second season, the key players will travel back to their homes. Meanwhile, the foreign players in IPL will be flying back to their respective countries, with the available flights at the earliest.
