3 Australian players who can miss ICC Champions Trophy 2025

Australia have major set-back before ICC Champions Trophy 2025 with their skipper unlikely to play the tournament as suffering from injury.

In the mini ODI World Cup—Champions Trophy, India’s biggest competitor, Australia, might enter the tournament with a weakened squad due to key players being sidelined by injuries. This is positive news for India, as the Aussies had defeated them in the final of the ODI World Cup. A depleted Australian team could boost India’s chances, making them strong favorites to win the tournament.

Champions Trophy 2025 will begin from February 19 in Pakistan. Australia are in the Group B which includes Afghanistan, England and South Africa teams.

3 Australian players who can miss ICC Champions Trophy 2025

Pat Cummins

Australia might step into the tournament without their caotain as Pat Cummins is “heavily unlikely” to play in the CT 2025 in Pakistan as his ankle injury has not been recovered. He is also not a part of two match Test series against Sri Lanka. Australia’s head coach McDonald also said that he might miss the Champions Trophy 2025.

Marcus Stoinis 

The power hitter Marcus Stoinis is also unlikely to play the Champions Trophy 2025, the Aussie all-rouder pulled his right hamstring in the SA20 2025 tournament. The update on his fitness is yet to be revealed, but if the injury is serious, he might miss.

Josh Hazlewood 

McDonald also updated about Australia’s in-form bowler in the white-ball cricket Josh Hazlewood fitness. The pacer was suffering from hip injury and could opt out from the Champions Trophy 2025. Hazlewood’s absence will be a huge set-back for Aussies as he has been their spearhead pacer in the white-ball cricket.
