The world's biggest franchise league was halted for one week on Friday but will recommence following the brokering of a ceasefire last Saturday.

The final was initially due to take place on May 25 and has been pushed back to June 3, meaning the end of the IPL will clash with England's white-ball series against West Indies.

The Pakistan Super League (PSL), which was initially moved to the United Arab Emirates and then postponed indefinitely, is also making plans to reschedule its final eight matches.

 The England and Wales Cricket Board initially agreed to let any players taking part to remain for the entire competition, meaning all-rounder Jacob Bethell is not in the squad for the one-off Test against Zimbabwe.
