As we look ahead to the 2025 season, it's clear that there will be plenty of excitement and anticipation for Leicestershire County Cricket Club. However, with so many players out injured, it's important to have an injury report.
One of the key figures in the team is captain Joe Root, who has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since January. He'll be hoping to make a comeback soon, but until then, his absence will be felt on the field.
Another player who could miss the start of the season is opener Tom Kohler-Cadmore, who suffered a fractured thumb in April. While he's expected to recover from this injury in time for the start of the season, his absence could leave a hole in the batting order.
All-rounder Chris Woakes is another player who could struggle as he recovers from a knee injury sustained during the summer. His pace and spin ability will be missed by the team, and it's unclear when he'll be able to return to action.
Finally, spinner Liam Dawson has also been hit hard by injuries. He's currently recovering from a calf strain and is likely to miss some of the early fixtures. It's hoped that he'll be back in time for the crucial matches later in the season.
Overall, while there may be some concerns about the team's chances, the squad remains strong overall. With the right support and guidance, they should be able to overcome any obstacles that come their way.
