Pakistan's pacer Haris Rauf walked off the field after suffering an injury in the first ODI of the Tri-Nation Series against New Zealand. This could be a huge blow to Pakistan as he is in great form and it is crucial for the Rizwan-Led side to have him fully fit for the upcoming eight-team marquee event, ICC Champions Trophy 2025. In the 37th over of the match against the Blackcaps at Gaddafi Stadium, Haris delivered the second ball and was seen struggling after that. Salman Agha was called in to bowl the remaining deliveries of the over as Rauf walked off in pain. He was breathing fire before going out, having taken 1 wicket in 6.2 overs at an economy of 3.6. He is believed to have suffered a side strain and if he fails to recover soon, he might get ruled out of the Pakistan's Champions Trophy squad. The hosts will only be left with three proper pacers if Rauf fails to recover, and they will have to add someone in his place. Following are the three players who can replace Haris Rauf in Pakistan's squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 3 Potential Replacements for Haris Rauf in CT 2025 Players Matches (List A) Wickets (List A) Aamer Jamal 34 56 Abbas Afridi 26 44 Ahmed Daniyal 10 16 Also Read | 3 Players Who Can Replace Marcus Stoinis in Australia's Champions Trophy 2025 Squad Aamer Jamal Jamal is an all-rounder who can bowl quick.
