New Delhi, Oct 30 (IANS): The inaugural edition of the International Masters League (IML), has been rescheduled to the first quarter of 2025, organisers confirmed on Wednesday.

The IML, envisioned as an annual event, will feature celebrated cricketers from India, Australia, South Africa, West Indies, England, and Sri Lanka, making it a star-studded lineup for fans around the world. The decision to reschedule, according to the league’s statement, was made “in close consultation with local authorities” to ensure compliance with government protocols and meet legal standards.

Organisers plan to work with broadcasters and partners in setting the new dates, ensuring a seamless and exciting experience for global audiences when the tournament debuts next year.
