Set Back For South Africa As Nortje Ruled Out Of Champions Trophy 2025
ICC Cricket World Cup: South Africa pacer Anrich Nortje has been ruled out of the remainder of the SA20 and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 due to a back injury. Nortje, who plays for Pretoria Capitals, got injured recently and underwent scans and the extent of the injury was revealed this week.
Nortje's injury is a major blow to South Africa's hopes for the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 as Nortje is not in line to recover ahead of the 50-over tournament, which the Proteas will begin on February 21 against Afghanistan in Karachi, Pakistan.
The 31-year-old Nortje, who was initially named to the Champions Trophy squad, underwent scans on Monday afternoon which revealed the extent of the injury. With there being not much chance of him recovering in time for the Champions Trophy, Cricket South Africa finally took the call on Wednesday to withdraw him from the event.
