India suspends IPL cricket for one week over safety concerns | BBC News


India has suspended the Indian Premier League – the world’s richest cricket tournament – for a week amid escalating tensions with Pakistan.

Officials took the decision after a match was abandoned as military exchanges between the two countries continued for a third day.

Pakistani authorities said 31 people have been killed and 57 injured by Indian air strikes in the country and Pakistan-administered Kashmir since Wednesday morning.

Twenty-six civilians were killed in Indian-administered Kashmir last month and India has accused Pakistan of supporting militants behind the attack – an allegation the neighbouring country has rejected.
