Kiwi pacer Lockie Ferguson has opened up about his injury during IPL 2025, just as he prepares for The Hundred 2025 with Trent Rockets. Ferguson played a key role in Punjab Kings’ historic run to the IPL final, but an unfortunate left leg injury during a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad cut his season short. He also missed the 2025 Champions Trophy due to a prior hamstring injury sustained in the ILT20.
“Injury never affected my mindset. It’s a part of the job as a fast bowler. You are bound to get injured but you just need to manage them well and learn from the mistakes that you have made. You have to focus on your rehab for the recovery. When you try to bowl fast and try to win matches for your team, these injuries are highly possible to happen,” Ferguson told NDTV.
Ready to Fire for Trent Rockets in The Hundred 2025
Despite the setbacks, Lockie Ferguson remains focused and determined to return stronger. He is excited about his stint with Trent Rockets in The Hundred 2025, where he will play under the leadership of David Willey.
“Preparations are also important. You have to learn from the rehab, learn to be stronger. Hopefully, my summer is with the Trent Rockets and I aim to give my best,” he added.
Ferguson also looks forward to teaming up with familiar faces like Marcus Stoinis and David Willey, having shared dressing rooms with them in the past.
“There are some players with whom I have played before. It will be really nice to play with Stoin (Marcus Stoinis). He is a great player in the dressing room and very deadly with both bat and ball in hand. Very glad with David taking up the captaincy. Have played with him in Yorkshire and enjoyed my time over there. So, I am pretty excited,” said Ferguson.
