BCCI announces start dates of the next three seasons of IPL
courtesy
Based on media reports, the BCCI has sent the timelines to all the franchises on Friday morning. The IPL referred to these as "windows," though they are likely to become the finalized dates.
The 2025 season will feature 74 matches, the same as the last three editions.
However, this is ten games fewer than the 84 matches initially proposed by the IPL in 2022 when selling media rights for the 2023-27 cycle.
In a major boost to franchises, overseas players from most Full Member countries have got a nod from their individual boards to play for the next three years in the IPL.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has sent 13 names with varying availability for each player across the three-year period.
The list includes: Taskin Ahmed, Litton Kumar Das, Mahedi Hasan, Shakib Al Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Towhid Hridoy, Shoriful Islam, Shohidul Islam, Hasan Mahmud, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mustafizur Rahman, Nahid Rana, Tanzim Hasan Sakib
