London, Aug 6 (NationPress) Following his participation in four matches of England's recently drawn Test series against India, fast bowler Brydon Carse has been officially ruled out of competing for the Northern Superchargers in The Hundred men's tournament.
In an announcement, Carse mentioned that the choice to withdraw from The Hundred was made after thorough discussions with the medical team. Consequently, he has been substituted by pacer Mitchell Stanley in the lineup for the Superchargers.
"After a lengthy series against India and in light of discussions with medical staff, I regretfully cannot participate for the Northern Superchargers in The Hundred this year. I eagerly anticipate cheering from the sidelines and hope to represent the team again in the future," he stated.
Carse, who represents Durham in England's domestic cricket scene, secured nine wickets across the four Tests against India, but was absent from the final Test at The Oval, which the visitors won by six runs, leading to a drawn Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series at 2-2. The Superchargers are set to kick off their campaign in The Hundred against Welsh Fire at Headingly on Thursday.
Earlier this year, during England's white-ball tour of India, Carse faced challenges due to a foot injury that ultimately sidelined him from the Champions Trophy midway through the tournament, along with the subsequent three months of cricket, including a stint in IPL 2025 with Sunrisers Hyderabad.
In June, prior to the Test series against India, Carse disclosed that he contemplated amputating his toe due to severe cuts caused by bowling, which led to an infection on his left second toe. This issue arose primarily from the repetitive pressure on his front foot while bowling. England will be hoping for Carse's complete recovery ahead of a crucial Ashes tour later this year in Australia.
