Australia captain Pat Cummins out of CT-2025

<p>It seems difficult for Australia captain Pat Cummins to play in the Champions Trophy. He is suffering from an ankle injury. In Cummins&#39; absence, Steve Smith or Travis Head can captain the Kangaroo team.</p>

<p>Team coach Andrew McDonald said on Wednesday - &#39;Cummins has not been able to start bowling yet. It is almost impossible for him to play. In such a situation, we need a captain. Steve Smith and Travis Head are the two players we will look at for leadership.&#39; The coach said on Josh Hazlewood&#39;s injury - &#39;He is also struggling to make a comeback on time. Hazlewood was injured during India&#39;s tour of Australia.&#39;</p>

<p>The Champions Trophy 2025 will start from February 19 and will run till March 9 under the hosting of Pakistan. Australia recently won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 3-1 against India under the captaincy of Pat Cummins. Cummins was the team&#39;s top wicket taker in BGT. He also led his team to win the ODI World Cup in 2023.</p>
