Prepend to the Content

Australia’s all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 due to ongoing back issues he sustained during the home summer. This injury has now cast doubt on his participation in the upcoming IPL season with Lucknow Super Giants.

Cricket Australia confirmed on Friday that Marsh will miss the prestigious tournament, set to be held in Pakistan. The injury has been described as lower back pain and dysfunction, which has not responded well to his rehabilitation efforts.

“Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the upcoming ICC Men’s Champion’s Trophy with ongoing lower back pain and dysfunction,” Cricket Australia said in a statement. “The National Selection Panel and Australian men’s medical team have made this decision, as the injury has not sufficiently responded to rehabilitation.”

With the deadline for finalizing squads for the Champions Trophy set for February 12, Australia now faces the challenge of naming a replacement for Marsh. This development could also impact the Lucknow Super Giants, who were banking on Marsh’s all-round skills for IPL 2025.

Australia’s preliminary squad for the Champions Trophy includes some of the country’s top talents, such as Pat Cummins, Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith, and Mitchell Starc. With plenty of batting depth and versatile options, the team will need to adapt quickly to the change in their lineup.

As Mitchell Marsh continues his rehabilitation, questions loom over his participation in the IPL 2025 season, with Lucknow Super Giants now monitoring the situation closely.
