New Zealand makes squad change for ICC Champions Trophy 2025
Lockie Ferguson ruled out due to injury; Kyle Jamieson joins squad: ICC approves Kyle Jamieson’s inclusion
New Zealand’s pace attack has suffered a major setback as fast bowler Lockie Ferguson has been ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 due to a right foot injury, reported 24NewsHD TV Channel.
The ICC confirmed that Kyle Jamieson will replace Ferguson in the squad, following approval from the event’s technical committee.
The loss of Ferguson is a big blow for New Zealand, as he was expected to play a key role in their bowling attack. Meanwhile, Jamieson’s inclusion adds fresh energy to the team’s pace options.
New Zealand’s adjusted squad will now prepare to compete in the high-stakes tournament set to take place in Pakistan later this year.
