The Indian Heaven Premier League (IHPL) 2025, which began on October 25 at Bakshi Stadium in Srinagar, was introduced as a new T20 tournament aimed at promoting cricket in Jammu & Kashmir. The league featured eight teams including Gulmarg Royal, Ladakh Heros, The Pulwama Titans, Srinagar Sultan, Kishtwar Giants, Jammu Lions, Patnipot Warriors and Uri Panthers, with participation from both local talents and international players like Chris Gayle, Imran Tahir and Martin Guptill.
However, what started as a promising initiative soon turned controversial. The tournament was abruptly cancelled after organisers allegedly fled with funds, leaving players stranded and matches called off in Srinagar. The incident has drawn strong criticism and raised questions about transparency in privately organised cricket leagues.
