It’s always tough for any team to leave out an impactful player, and when the reason is injury, it’s even worse. With the ICC Champions Trophy just around the corner, several reports have already indicated that quite a few big names are set to miss the tournament due to injury. India has got a major set back, as Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out from the squad of the CT 2025 due to lower back injury.
Recently, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, who were part of Australia’s squad for the Champions Trophy, were both ruled out. Cummins is sidelined due to an ankle injury, while Hazlewood is out because of a hip injury, which is a big setback for the Australian camp. On the other hand, players like Saim Ayub, who was initially set to be included in the Pakistan squad, were left out when Shaheen announced the final squad. The reason for his exclusion was an ankle injury. Not only these names, but there are also quite a few others. Take a look at all the players who are now out of the Champions Trophy due to injury.
