How has Locky Ferguson's injury impacted New Zealand's Champions Trophy squad?
Locky Ferguson, New Zealand's most experienced fast bowler, has been ruled out of the Champions Trophy with a hamstring injury. Ferguson is a veteran with 65 ODIs and two World Cups experience, where New Zealand reached consecutive semifinals. His absence is particularly significant given his expertise and leadership in the bowling attack. Ferguson initially sustained the injury during the DP World Il tour in the UAE earlier this month, missing the final two games of that tournament. Despite attempting to test his hamstring in a warm-up match against Afghanistan, he was unable to recover sufficiently and has been replaced by Kyle Jameson in the squad.
