England's star all-rounder ruled out of Champions Trophy 2025

England’s Champions Trophy 2025 campaign suffered a major setback as their star all-rounder Brydon Carse has been ruled out for the remainder of the tournament.

Carse sustained an injury to his left toe during England’s opening game against Australia on Saturday in Lahore.

The 29-year-old all-rounder had missed the last two ODIs against India due to injury, however, he featured in the Champions Trophy 2025 game against Australia.

Brydon Carse struggled in the opening game and gave away 69 runs in his seven overs against the arch-rivals.

England have brought in spinner Rehan Ahmed to replace Brydon Carse following his toe injury as they look to secure a spot in the last-four stage.

England will face Afghanistan in their second game at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on February 26 while their final group-stage game against South Africa is scheduled for March 1 in Karachi.
