Sam was raining runs for Pakistan before getting injured, but his knee got twisted while fielding on the South Africa tour. Due to this, he had to stay away from the field for 6 weeks. However, it will take a long time for him to recover as he is going to undergo surgery. This is the reason why he will not participate in the Champions Trophy for Pakistan, which has dealt a big blow to the host.
Jasprit Bumrah
Indian cricket team’s star player Jasprit Bumrah is also doubtful to play in the ICC Champions Trophy. Bumrah suffered a back injury during the Australia tour. Due to this, he is also not playing in the home ODI series against England. Although he was included in the team for the last ODI of the series, the BCCI did not include Bumrah’s name in its updated team.
In such a situation, BCCI believed even if he just recovered from the injury, it would be difficult for him to play in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, and it has been officially announced now that Bumrah is not part of India’s squad for ICC Champions Trophy 2025. In this situation, the absence of Jasprit Bumrah can increase the problems of Team India.

Fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has also been included in this list. Hazlewood is also included in Australia’s squad for the ICC Champions Trophy, but the team coach has clearly said that a decision will be taken on Hazlewood after his medical report comes.
