    It is unfortunate for these players to miss the ICC event because of an injury. It is also after a long time that this trophy is being conducted by the ICC.

    1) Ben Stokes

    With Brendon McCullum coming as the Head Coach of the white-ball squads, Ben Stokes might have fancied a comeback to the ODI side. However, he recently underwent surgery and is therefore not fit for the tournament. England would have liked to have his experience for this tournament. It will be interesting to see when he makes a return to the national side.

    Nandre Burger is one of the players who are confirmed to miss the ICC 2025 Champions Trophy due to injury. Considering the value he offers with the new ball, he surely would have been in consideration for the South African ODI side.

    3) Cameron Green

    Australia is struggling to find the right opening partner for Travis Head. With Green, this issue would not have been there. Yes, he is a middle-order batter but he could have made the move to the top of the order. Plus, his bowling would have reduced the load on the elite trio. Australia could have even played an extra spinner. His back injury means that he is out of the competition. He will also miss IPL 2025.
