Here’s list of key players who are out of Champions Trophy 2025 due to injury

The injury list continues to grow as major stars are ruled out ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. With just days to go until the tournament begins, teams are scrambling to find replacements for key players who have been sidelined due to injuries.  

India's Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out due to a back injury, while Australian players Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood also ruled out due to injuries. 

In a further blow for Australia, Mitchell Marsh has also been ruled out due to a back injury, adding to the growing list of unavailable players. 

South Africa has also been affected, with pacer Gerald Coetzee now out of the tournament due to a hamstring injury. His absence will be felt, leaving a big gap in the South African bowling attack.

Anrich Nortje, another key South African bowler, is also ruled out of the tournament due to back injury.

In other injury news, England’s Jacob Bethell is sidelined with a hamstring issue, and Pakistan’s opener Saim Ayub will also miss the tournament due to an ankle injury. 

Haris Rauf, another Pakistan pacer, remains doubtful, as does New Zealand's Lockie Ferguson, though neither has been officially ruled out yet.

Afghanistan’s AM Ghazanfar, the team's spin sensation, is also out due to a back injury, leaving Afghanistan with one less option in their bowling attack.

As these major players continue to battle injuries, the Champions Trophy may well turn into a test of teams' depth rather than their skill on the field. With key figures missing, teams will need to find replacements and adapt quickly if they want to compete for the prestigious title.
