Divya Delhi: Australian players are unsure if they would play in the 2025 IPL, which has been banned owing to escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. The West Australian reports that several Australian players are weighing their options “after being left shaken by the situation over the past week.”, questioning if it's worth returning to the subcontinent considering the unpredictable atmosphere. Some psychological trauma in recent days has shook them. The report said Pakistani players flew out of an Islamabad airbase hours before missiles hit it on Friday. The BCCI is considering Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad as host locations for the remaining 16 IPL 2025 matches, including the playoffs, but this may not effect all franchises. Pat Cummins, Travis Head, and Nathan Ellis may not return, as Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, and Chennai Super Kings are already out of postseason contention with two games left.
