BREAKING: Indian Premier League 'suspended indefinitely' as Pakistan conflict escalates

The world's biggest cricket tournament, the Indian Premier League, is reported to have been suspended indefinitely amid India's conflict with Pakistan. Sources told that the tournament has been postponed, with the potential for it to be cancelled.

The report adds that Australians who play in the IPL, such as Test captain Pat Cummins and legendary bowler Mitchell Starc, will return home. It's been suggested that rest of this year's competition could be played in South Africa.

The Pakistan Super League has already been moved to Dubai for the remaining eight matches of its season. The clash between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in the IPL was called off on Thursday after what officials described as a power blackout.
