Mumbai Indians star recruit, who was bought for Rs 4.8 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction last year, has been ruled out of both ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and IPL 2025 season due to injury.

Ghazanfar’s absence presents a significant challenge for Mumbai Indians, a team that has historically relied on a strong spin contingent to complement their pace attack.

Mumbai Indians’ Afghanistan spin sensation Allah Ghazanfar has been ruled out of action for up to four months, leaving the youngster out of the Champions Trophy tournament that is slated to begin next week in Pakistan.

Mumbai Indians went on an all out bidding war in the IPL 2025 mega auction for young Afghanistan spinner Allah Ghazanfar who won't feature in the upcoming season.

The Afghanistan Cricket Board, which tweeted out the news on Wednesday morning, said that Allah Ghazanfar sustained the injury during the tour of Zimbabwe in 2024 and will be sidelined for a minimum of four months and will remain under treatment during this period.
