The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner, but it has lost some of its shine as a total of nine players have been ruled out of this eight-team marquee event that is going to be played in Pakistan and Dubai. These nine big names from six teams have either suffered an injury or have withdrawn from the tournament due to personal reasons. Jasprit Bumrah, Pat Cummins and Anrich Nortje are some of the big names who will miss this ICC Event.

He was expected to make it into the squad ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, but as he failed to recover from the injury, the BCCI officially ruled him out of the tournament on February 11, announcing Harshit Rana as his replacement. Pat Cummins (Australia) The ICC Cricket World Cup winning skipper of Australia, Pat Cummins, who was earlier named as the captain for the side in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, was ruled out of the forthcoming tournament. Cricket Australia, on February 6, announced that Cummins will not be able to participate in the event as he won't be able to recover from the injury that he suffered during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Josh Hazlewood (Australia) Another fast bowler from Australia, who is also a part of Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2025, will miss the eight-team marquee event as the 34-year-old suffered a calf strain in the third Test against India at Brisbane. Since then, he has not played any cricket as he is still recovering from the injury; hence, he has been ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Mitchell Marsh (Australia) The hard-hitting all-rounder and the T20I captain of Australia, Mitchell Marsh, has been ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 following his back injury. The all-rounder has had an injury prone career so far. Marsh, who suffered the injury during the Tests, featured in a BBL match later, but due to deterioration of the symptoms during rehab, the all-rounder was pulled out of the tournament by the National Selection Panel (NSP).

Nortje, who had also missed the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 due to stress fracture, was ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 after the CSA confirmed that he won't be able to recover fully from the back injury. Corbin Bosch has been announced as a replacement and Kwena Maphaka will travel with the team as a reserve. Saim Ayub (Pakistan) The Pakistani youngster Saim Ayub was omitted from the squad due to an ankle injury he sustained during the second Test against the South Africans last month in Cape Town. The young and promising batter was expected to make a huge impact for Pakistan in this ICC Event. However, since the injury was severe, Ayub was ruled out of the event.

While no reason has been confirmed yet, some reports claimed he was having left ankle issues since last week during the second Test against Sri Lanka.

Allah Ghazanfar (Afghanistan) 🚨:Allah Ghazanfar ruled out of Champions Trophy & IPL 2025!Big blow for Afghanistan & MI 😳Wishing him a speedy recovery! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/IKCaYM2hqa — CricketGully (@thecricketgully) February 12, 2025 The 18-year-old Afghan spinner Allah Ghazanfar will also miss out on the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He was ruled out on February 12 due to fractured L4 vertebra. This injury occurred during Afghanistan's recent tour of Zimbabwe, and he is to be out for at least four months. Conclusion With several top players missing out, the tournament is not going to be as dazzling as it should be in 2025. Teams will need to make smart changes to fit suitable replacements. Nevertheless, the tournament will still shine with top-class cricket as teams compete for the prestigious title. The fans can still expect to have a fantastic contest, despite major stars being unable to show their skills.
