Pakistan has suffered a major setback as opening batsman Fakhar Zaman has been ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 due to an injury.
He got injured while fielding during Pakistan’s match against New Zealand, raising concerns about his participation in the rest of the tournament. Unfortunately, the injury is serious enough to rule him out completely.
According to reports, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has requested a replacement, and Imam-ul-Haq is one of the possible options being considered. However, no official confirmation has been made yet.
Losing Fakhar is a big blow to Pakistan’s batting lineup, especially with their next match against India being a crucial one. The upcoming game is now a must-win for Pakistan as they fight to stay in the tournament.
Fans are eagerly waiting for updates from the PCB on Fakhar’s replacement and how the team plans to adjust its strategy. The pressure is on Pakistan to recover from this setback and deliver strong performances in the remaining matches.
With tough matches ahead, Pakistan will need their top-order batsmen to step up and fill the gap left by Fakhar’s absence. The team’s chances in the tournament now depend on how well they can handle this challenge and bounce back.
