Carse ruled out of Superchargers’ Hundred campaign

After consulting with medical staff, England’s fast bowler Brydon Carse will no longer play for Northern Superchargers in the Hundred division this year.

Carse has been replaced at the Leeds-based team by 24-year-old Lancashire quick Mitchell Stanley, who played in four of England’s five Tests against India in the recently-drawn series.

The 30-year-old claimed in June that after suffering severe cuts to his left toe from bowling, he had thought about having his toe amputated.

After missing the Champions Trophy earlier this year, Carse played for England’s bowling team against India, taking nine wickets in the final Test at The Oval.

I’m sadly not able to play for Northern Superchargers in The Hundred this year because of a lengthy series against India, which I’ve already discussed with the medical staff, said South African-born Carse.

“I look forward to watching from the sidelines and going back and forth with the team.”

At 18:30 BST, Superchargers kick off their Hundred campaign against Welsh Fire at Headingly.

Carse’s foot injury prevented him from playing in England’s inaugural white-ball game against India, which eventually resulted in his being excluded from the Champions Trophy and the following three months.
