1.Jasprit Bumrah

India's top fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, will miss the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 because of a back injury. Harshit Rana has been chosen as his replacement. Bumrah's absence will certainly put more pressure on Mohammed Siraj and the rest of the bowling attack to perform well in his stead.
2.Pat Cummins

Australia's ODI and Test captain, Pat Cummins, will miss the upcoming tournament as he is recovering from an injury he sustained during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. His absence will certainly be felt, as his outstanding leadership and knack for taking key wickets will be greatly missed.
3.Anrich Nortje

Anrich Nortje, South Africa’s pace sensation, is currently out of action because of a recurring back injury, leaving the Proteas without a key express fast bowler who excels in high-stakes tournaments.
4.Mitchell Starc

Australia faced another setback when left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc withdrew from the team. While the exact reason for his withdrawal is still unknown, reports indicate that an ankle issue may have influenced his decision.
5.Mitchell Marsh

The dynamic all-rounder has been sidelined due to back problems, which has significantly affected Australia's batting lineup. His skill in stabilizing the middle order and delivering crucial overs will be sorely missed.
6.Jacob Bethell

The 21-year-old cricketer, Bethell, was expected to be a valuable all-round option for England in the upcoming Champions Trophy. However, his hopes have been dashed by a hamstring injury, forcing him to withdraw from the tournament. Bethell's absence will undoubtedly impact the composition of the squad.
7.Allah Ghazanfar

The 18-year-old spinner, regarded as Afghanistan’s promising bowling talent, has been ruled out for at least four months due to a fracture in his L4 vertebra.
8.Saim Ayub

Pakistan's promising young batsman, Saim Ayub, was sidelined due to an ankle injury, which unfortunately prevented him from showcasing his talent in what could have been a breakthrough tournament on home soil.
9.Josh Hazlewood

Hazlewood's decision to withdraw from the team has further exacerbated Australia's bowling issues. As a seasoned pacer, he has played a crucial role in white-ball formats, and his absence leaves a significant void in their bowling attack. Hazlewood is currently dealing with a hip problem, having previously struggled with hip and calf strains.
