Australia's chances of winning the Champions Trophy have taken a significant blow as Mitchell Starc joins Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood on the sidelines due to injury. With all three front-line fast bowlers out, Australia's bowling attack will be severely depleted, making their bid to claim the title for the first time since 2006 even more challenging. The team will need to rely on their reserve players to step up and fill the void. Key players will need to perform well to ensure Australia's success in the tournament, which is considered one of the most prestigious events in international cricket, with top teams competing for the ICC Champions Trophy.
