India is slated to begin a five-match Test series in England in early June. Once that concludes, the August-September period is viewed as the only realistic timeframe available to finish the tournament.
With this in mind, India's planned tour of Bangladesh in August and their participation in the Asia Cup the following month are now highly uncertain.
Even if the IPL concludes in time, sources suggest the BCCI has little interest in proceeding with either the Bangladesh tour or the continental tournament, standing firm on prioritizing domestic cricket over international fixtures during this unsettled time.

Meanwhile, concerns over player safety have grown following the abrupt halt of the Punjab Kings vs. Delhi Capitals match in Dharamsala on Thursday due to a major power outage.
It is understood that players from both teams were left shaken and departed the region early the next morning. The BCCI is currently focusing on ensuring the safety and mental well-being of all involved.
