The 2025 Indian Premier League is set to resume after a week-long suspension due to military tensions between India and Pakistan. Lucknow Super Giants confirmed that pace bowler Mayank Yadav is out for the season with a back injury, disappointing fans as he had just returned from a previous injury. New Zealand’s William O’Rourke will replace him. Punjab Kings signed Kyle Jamieson to fill in for Lockie Ferguson, who is out with a hamstring injury. Gujarat Titans will lose Jos Buttler to national duties and have brought in Kusal Mendis as his replacement. Mendis will join the team on May 26. Delhi Capitals signed Mustafizur Rahman to replace Jake Fraser-McGurk, who withdrew from the tournament. The extended IPL window has led to more overseas players becoming unavailable. Mitchell Starc is also unlikely to join Delhi Capitals for the rest of the season. The BCCI has allowed mid-tournament replacements and rolling squad submissions due to the situation.
