Australia will be facing an enormous task when they head to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025 with Pat Cummins missing in action. A star pacer, leading the bowling attack of the team with his skill and experience, his absence would mean Australia has to look for a strong replacement who should take forward the baton. There are a few talented bowlers who could take his place, but the question remains—who is the best fit? Let's see the top contenders who could fill Cummins' shoes in the upcoming tournament. Pat Cummins’ Potential Replacements for CT 2025 Sno Players 1 Sean Abbott 2 Will Sutherland 3 Lance Morris Sean Abbott Image Source: Getty Images The first player on our list is Sean Abbott, who can fill the boots of Pat Cummins in Australia's squad for the Champions Trophy 2025. He has been with the team for a long time as their fourth seamer in white ball cricket. He has enough experience and exposure to international cricket; hence, he knows how to play on the bigger occasions. He was also part of Australia’s World Cup 2023 squad. He is really good bowler, who can clock 140 and also has variations in his box. His bowling is also suitable for the Asian conditions, which makes him the frontrunner to replace the Australian skipper, Pat Cummins. Not only bowling, Sean Abbott also can contribute with his bat just like Pat Cummins. With all these things into consideration, he is one of the top runners to replace the Australian skipper. So far in his ODI career, he has played 26 matches, picked 29 wickets, and also scored 352 runs as well.

He has raw pace and the ability to pick wickets, just like the Australian skipper Pat Cummins.
