New Zealand fast bowler Lockie Ferguson has been ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 due to a foot injury. In his absence, Kyle Jamieson was named his replacement on the squad.
Ferguson’s injury comes as a big setback for the Black Caps, as his express pace and ability to generate bounce would have been crucial in the tournament. Jamieson, who has been in solid form, will now step in to bolster New Zealand’s pace attack.
