New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson is determined to make a strong return in The Hundred 2025 after sustaining an injury in IPL 2025. The fast bowler, who played for Punjab Kings in their first playoff appearance in over a decade, had to leave the tournament early due to a leg injury. The setback occurred during a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and also ruled him out of the 2025 Champions Trophy.
“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.
Kiwi Speedster Set to Join Trent Rockets in The Hundred
Despite a challenging few months, Lockie Ferguson is now focused on delivering impactful performances for Trent Rockets in The Hundred 2025. He will be playing under the captaincy of English all-rounder 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.
The Kiwi quick also expressed enthusiasm about joining forces with teammates he’s played with before, including Marcus Stoinis.
“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.
