Brydon Carse is out of IPL 2026.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have missed the services of their star pacer Pat Cummins since the start of the Indian Premier League 2026. Cummins has been recovering from a back injury and has yet to play his first game for SRH.
In Cummins’ absence, Ishan Kishan is captaining the Sunrisers in IPL 2026. Now, they have suffered a big blow as pacer Brydon Carse has been ruled out of the tournament. The England pacer sustained a hand injury just ahead of the tournament during training sessions.
As a result, he could not feature in any games as SRH waited for his recovery. In his absence, David Payne got opportunities in the playing XI. Now Carse has been ruled out of the tournament, and another star fast bowler has been included in his place.
