Since the past few days, there has been a lot going on in the cricketing World. One of the major developments that took place was the suspension of the IPL 2025 due to the tensions between India and Pakistan. However, now, with both nations calling a ceasefire, the league is all set to resume.
The change in the schedule of the league will no doubt hamper the franchise as the international season will begin on 25th May, and it might see foreign players missing the playoffs. But, there is surety for South African players in this case as they need to be back by 26th May.
We want our players back on the 26th - South Africa head coach Shukri Conrad
South Africa National Cricket Team head coach Shukri Conrad openly mentioned that their agreement with BCCI says that their players need to be back by 26th May. Speaking about the same, he said:
"That is the ongoing conversations that are being had between people in a higher pay grade than I am, i.e. the Director of Cricket (Enoch Nkwe) and Pholetsi Moseki (CSA CEO), so they're dealing with that. But as it stands, we're not budging on that, I don't think. We want our players back on the 26th, and hopefully that comes to fruition."
Corbin Bosch (Mumbai Indians), Wiaan Mulder (Sunrisers Hyderabad) Marco Jansen (Punjab Kings), Aiden Markram (Lucknow SuperGiants), Lungi Ngidi (Royal Challengers Bengaluru), Kagiso Rabada (Gujarat Titans), Ryan Rickelton (Mumbai Indians) and Tristan Stubbs (Delhi Capitals)

Not only the South African players but also the England players are likely to miss the playoffs of the IPL 2025 due to international commitments. The Three Lions will be locking horns with the West Indies in the three-match series, and they have been asked bythe ECB to be available for that.
