Brydon Carse

He only made two first-class appearances in 2022 but began the following summer in strong form, scoring a maiden hundred to suggest allrounder status might not be far off. With England's seamer stocks low, a T20I debut came towards the end of the season, and he eventually became part of the ODI World Cup squad in India as an injury replacement for Reece Topley.

His breakthrough came on the Test tour of Pakistan in 2024-25. His stamina and speed proved a crucial weapon in overcoming a lifeless Multan wicket to secure a memorable England win, and he confirmed his credentials with a ten-wicket display in England's subsequent victory over New Zealand in Christchurch. His extertions came at a cost though, and after limping out of the Champions Trophy in February 2025, he underwent surgery on a badly damaged left toe.

South Africa-born but having honed his craft in the northeast, Carse pushed his way on to England's radar with an impressive 2019 season, winning a place on the Lions tour to Australia. He was Durham's joint-leading wicket-taker in the Royal London Cup, and claimed 35 wickets at 26.85 in the Championship, as he put two seasons of injury frustration behind him. In Australia, Carse claimed eight wickets in four matches as the Lions went unbeaten, which included a maiden first-class win over Australia A in a day-night match at the MCG.

Carse had first shone for Durham at both ends of a 2016 summer that also saw him succumb to injury in mid-season. He made his first-class debut against Durham MCCU and finished with 17 wickets in eight matches.

- Brydon Carse, the seam-bowling allrounder from England, was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for INR 1 crore before IPL 2025.

- A toe injury, though, ruled him out even before the season could start.

- The team management retained him for the same price for the 2026 season.
