by: TN Media News Pakistan: Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman has been officially ruled out of the remainder of the Champions Trophy 2025 after suffering a knee injury during the team’s opening match against New Zealand.
Despite initial hopes that Zaman might recover in time, the injury has forced him to withdraw from the tournament. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed the news and announced that a replacement has already been chosen, though they have yet to disclose the player’s name.
Zaman’s absence is a significant blow to Pakistan, as he has been a key figure in their batting lineup, contributing heavily to their success in recent years.
The team will now look to adapt without one of their most reliable openers as they continue their campaign in the tournament. The PCB expressed confidence in the squad’s depth and their ability to cope with the setback moving forward.
