The Australian skipper and pacer has been ruled out due to an ankle injury. This is a double blow for Australia - the ODI World Cup 2023 winners and one of the major title contenders. WithCummins being out, Australia not only lost a pacer but their captain as well.
Josh Hazlewood (Australia)
Another Kangaroo pacer has been ruled out of the ICC tournament. Hazlewood, who also last played in India Tests, is out with a hip injury. With both Hazlewood and Cummins not playing, Australia have a headache when it comes to their bowling attack.
Lockie Ferguson (New Zealand)
The express Kiwi pacer is doubtful for the Champions Trophy because of a hamstring injury. The Kiwis will be monitoring him closely given his experience and pace on the sub-continent pitches, thanks to the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Mitchell Starc (Australia)
The third Aussie pacer out of the Champions Trophy. Starc, however, is not injured but has withdrawn from the Champions Trophy due to personal reasons.
Harris Rauf (Pakistan)
The Pakistan pacer is suffering from a side strain and is currently doubtful for the Champions Trophy. He's one of the express pacers Pakistan have who can hurry the batters even on dead pitches. His absence could hit Pakistan's chances of defending their title.
Anrich Nortje (South Africa)
The fast bowler has been ruled out of the ICC tournament with a back injury. His experience in the sub-continent, which he gained playing the IPL, would have been handy for the Proteas who are still chasing their first ICC title.
Gerald Coetzee (South Africa)
Another South African pacer ruled out of the Champions Trophy. He shot to fame with his brilliant bowling in the 2023 ODI World Cup but a groin injury means he won't be filling the void made by Nortje.
Jacob Bethell (England)
The England all-rounder suffered a hamstring injury during the first ODI against India in Nagpur on February 6, giving England's plans a jolt during crunch time.
