Australia’s cricket team has been dealt a significant blow just before the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, with all-rounder Mitchell Marsh being ruled out due to a persistent back injury. Despite undergoing rehabilitation, Marsh’s condition has not improved, leaving him unable to participate in the upcoming mega event.

Cricket Australia confirmed the news, stating that Marsh would continue his recovery and take further rest. The team management has assured that an announcement regarding his replacement will be made soon. The deadline for making squad changes for the tournament is February 11, after which any changes will require ICC approval.
