A hamstring injury suffered in the ILT20 has put New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson in doubt for the Champions Trophy.

Fast bowlers Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins have been ruled out of the Champions Trophy with injury, confirmed on the same day Marcus Stoinis announced his shock retirement from ODI cricket.

Australia will now need to find replacements for these three and Mitchell Marsh, as well as appoint a new captain and vice-captain.

On February 5, Gerald Coetzee recovered from a hamstring strain to earn a spot in South Africa's squad for their tri-series opener against New Zealand.

However, within hours, he was ruled out of the tri-series, and the Champions Trophy.

On Friday (January 31), Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh was ruled out of the tournament with a back injury.

The final squad submission deadline is less than two weeks away.

South Africa continues to face injury setbacks with the latest being David Miller, who left the field during Paarl Royals’ final SA20 home fixture, against Durban’s Super Giants. The incident happened in the 14th over when Marcus Stoinis played a shot through the covers. The extent of his injury, however, is yet to be revealed.

"My right groin is a little tight," Miller told SuperSport afterwards. "It's just a little tweak. Tried to get off before it could get any worse."

Gerald Coetzee, who was seen as a potential replacement for Anrich Nortje, is also unavailable for the ongoing SA20 competition due to a hamstring injury.

Lungi Ngidi has also missed five out of the Paarl Royals' eight matches after returning from a groin injury last summer.

Pakistan have suffered a significant blow after opener Saim Ayub was ruled out for “up to six weeks” with a right ankle fracture sustained during the Cape Town Test against Pakistan this month. He underwent treatment in London and currently in rehab.

"It will take time for his complete recovery and we are not going to risk his future career just for the Champions Trophy," said PCB chair Mohsin Naqvi.

South Africa speedster Anrich Nortje has been ruled out of the 2025 Champions Trophy due to a back injury. Nortje, 31, hasn’t played international cricket since the T20 World Cup in June last year.

This is the third time in the last six ICC tournaments Nortje has been sidelined due to an injury. He broke his thumb before the 2019 World Cup, then missed the 2023 World Cup due to a suspected stress fracture of the lower back.
