England pacer Brydon Carse ruled out of The Hundred

London: After playing in four of England’s recently 2-2 drawn Test series against India, fast bowler Brydon Carse has been ruled of playing for the Northern Superchargers in The Hundred men’s competition.

In a statement, Carse said the decision to pull out of The Hundred came after a consultation with medical staff. As a result, Carse has been replaced by pacer Mitchell Stanley in the Superchargers’ line-up.

“At the end of a long series against India and following consultation with the medical staff, I am sadly not able to play for Northern Superchargers in The Hundred this year. I look forward to watching on from the sidelines and to representing the team again in the future,” he said.

Carse, who plays for Durham in England’s domestic cricket circuit, took nine wickets in the four Tests against India, but did not play in the final Test at The Oval, which the visitors’ won by six runs to draw the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series at 2-2. Superchargers are scheduled to open their Hundred men’s campaign against Welsh Fire at Headingly on Thursday. IANS
