IPL and PSL – Dates clash on the cards in 2025 as PSL and IPL set to take place at the same time

As first reported by ESPNcricinfo, the schedule crunch that season is mainly because Pakistan is hosting its first ICC tournament – the Champions Trophy in February 2025 – in almost 30 years. That forced the PCB to ink in a window for the tenth season of the PSL between March and May. The IPL’s longer and more or less fixed window in the international calendar starts in the first week of March every year, all the way to the beginning of June.
