With the Indian Premier League (IPL) around the corner, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have announced the replacement of Brydon Carse who has been ruled out of the tournament due to an injury in his left toe during England鈥檚 tour to India before the Champions Trophy 2025.
SRH have signed Wiaan Mulder as a like-for-like replacement for Carse who is set to miss the IPL season after being ruled out of the England鈥檚 squad following their first group stage game against Australia.
Mulder was recently part of the South African team who lost the semi-final of the Champions Trophy 2025 against New Zealand. Mulder has featured in 128 T20 matches, amassing 2,172 runs and claiming 67 wickets. This upcoming season marks his debut in the IPL. However, he brings considerable experience from his stints in the SA20, the now-??defunct Mzansi Super League (MSL), and England鈥檚 Vitality Blast. Notably, Mulder was South Africa鈥檚 joint-highest wicket-taker in their Champions Trophy campaign, finishing with six wickets.
The SRH squad has further solidified with the inclusion of Mulder in the squad. The former IPL runners-up are studded with players like Heinrich Klassen, Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head and Nitish Kumar Reddy up front. Skipper Pat Cummins and Mohammed Shami are leading the pace attack and Adam Zampa leading聽 the spin attack for the franchise.
Mulder鈥檚 inclusion comes at a crucial time for the team. The highly anticipated 2025 IPL season will commence on March 22, setting the stage for another exciting tournament. SRH, who finished as runners-up in 2024, will begin their campaign with a home match against Rajasthan Royals on March 23. This clash promises to be an exhilarating start to the season as both teams aim to make an early statement. With the energy and an??ticipation building, fans can expect a thrilling encounter to open SRH??鈥檚 2025 IPL journey.

]]>England suffered a major setback in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as pacer Brydon Carse has been ruled out for the remainder of the tournament due to a recurring toe injury. Carse, who had been struggling with a blister on his left foot, aggravated the issue during England鈥檚 five-wicket defeat to Australia on February 22. Despite attempting to play through the pain, he delivered an expensive spell of 1/69 in seven o??vers, conceding at 9.85 runs per over, which raised concerns over his fitness.
Carse missed England鈥檚 training session on February 24, and after further medical evaluation, he was deemed unfit to continue. The injury initially troubled him during England鈥檚 recent white-ball series in India, wh??ere he had to sit out the final two ODIs due to stitches on the affected toe. The discomfort persisted into the Champions Trophy, ul?timately forcing him out of the competition.
With Carse ruled out, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed that young leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed has been approve??d as his official replacement by the ICC Event Technical Committee.
“The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men鈥檚 Champions Trophy 2025 has approved Rehan Ahmed as a replacement for Brydon Carse in the England squad. Ahmed, who has played six ODIs, was named as a replacement after Carse was ruled out due to an injury to the toe. The replacement of a player requires the approval of the Event Technical Committee before the player can be officially added to the squad,” the statement added.
The 19-year-old Rehan, who has played six ODIs, comes in to bolster England鈥檚 spin attack, which previously relied solely on veteran Adil Rashid. Rehan has an impressive ODI record, picking up 10 wickets at an average of 23.3, and famously took a five-wicket haul on his Test debut against P??akistan in 2022, becoming England鈥檚 youngest-ever male Test debutant.
England鈥檚 campaign in the Champions Trophy is now under immense pressure. After losing their opening match to Australia, they find themselves in a must-win situation. With two group-stage games remaining against Afghanistan and South Africa, Jos Buttler鈥檚 side must win both encounters to keep their semi-final hopes alive. With Carse鈥檚 absence weakening England鈥檚 pace attack, the addition of Rehan could offer a new tactical dimension, particularly in subcontinental conditions where spin plays a crucial role. However, England will need collective brilliance in all departments if they are to turn t?heir campaign around and remain in contention for the knockout stage.

]]>England defeated India by 26 runs in the 3rd T20I at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot, to narrow the deficit in the five-match series to 2-1. Choosing to field first, India struggled to contain England’s power-hitters in form of Ben Duckett and Liam Livingstone, while their batting faltered under the pressure of a challenging target of 172. England鈥檚 bowlers, led by Jamie Overton and Jofra Archer, capitalized on India’s struggles to keep the series alive.
England posted a competitive 171/9 on the back of a crucial knock by Duckett (51 off 28), who displayed aggression and precision against India鈥檚 spinners. Supported by Livingstone鈥檚 fiery 43 off 24, the middle-order ensured England capitalized on the powerplay and middle overs. Jos Buttler (24 off 22) provided stability at the top but fell to a well-executed plan by Varun Chakravarthy, who was the pick of?? the bowlers with remarkable figures of 5/24.
Chakravarthy鈥檚 guile dismantled England’s batting, picking wickets regularly and keeping their run rate in check. However, lower-order contributions from Adil Rashid and Mark Wood ensured England finished strongly despite losing wickets in clusters. India’s bowlers had a mixed day, with Ravi Bishnoi conceding 46 runs for one wicket and Hardik Pandya (2/33) offering occasional breakthroughs. Axar Patel (1/19) maintained control, but Washington Sundar and Mohammed Shami struggled, leaking runs under pressure.
Chasing 172, India鈥檚 innings never gained momentum, as regular wickets derailed their chase. The early loss of Sanju Samson (3) and Abhishek Sharma (24 off 14) in the powerplay added pressure. Suryakumar Yadav (14 off 7) looked promising with a quick cameo but fell to Mark Wood, while Tilak Varma (18 off 14) and Sundar (6 off 15) struggled to anchor the i?nnings?.
Hardik (40 off 35) fought valiantly, but the lack of partnerships and rising required rate made the chase increasingly difficult. England鈥檚 bowlers, particularly Jamie Overton (3/23) and Jofra Archer (2/33), executed their plans to perfection, consistently striking at crucial junctures. Adil Rashid鈥檚 economical spell (1/15) applied pressure in the middle overs, leaving India with too much to do in the death overs. India鈥檚 tailenders offered little resistance as they ended at 146/9 in 20 overs. England鈥檚 di?sciplined bowling and sharp fielding ensured they stayed in contention for the series, setting up an intriguing battle in the final two games.
Must admit when #England made only 171 didn't see that coming. That was some performance with the ball and in the field. #Rashid brilliant, as ever. #INDvENG

]]>Indian spinner Varun Chakravarthy delivered a stellar performance in the third T20I against England in Rajkot on Tuesday, dismantling the opposition with his skillful bowling. Chakravarthy first set the tone by removing England鈥檚 key batters Jos Buttler, Jamie Smith聽and Jamie Overton earlier in the innings, ??showcasing his ability to strike at crucial moments.
The crafty spinner returned to haunt England later in the innings, claiming two wickets in the same over. He dismissed Brydon Carse聽and followed it up with a sensational delivery to clean-bowl Jofra Archer for a duck on just the second ball Archer faced. With this remarkable effort, Varun Chakravarthy completed his maiden five-wicket ??haul in T20Is, finishing with figures hig?hlighting his dominance over England鈥檚 batting lineup.
1. Brydon Carse dismissal (15.4 Over)
Looking to counter Chakravarthy’s spin, Carse attempted a sweep shot to a delivery that was pitched outside off and turning away from him. However, the shot selection proved unwise as he played against the turn and targeted the longer boundary at deep square leg. The lack of timing and placement caused the ball to balloon up, offering an easy catch to Tilak Varma stationed perfectly in the deep. Varun’s intelligent variation in pace and trajectory induced the false shot, leaving Carse with no option but to watch his dismissal unfold.
2. Jofra Archer dismissal (15.6 Over)
Archer鈥檚 stay at the crease was cut short by a deceptive delivery from Chakravarthy. The ball drifted in slightly before skidding sharply off the pitch, exploiting Archer鈥檚 uncertainty. Expecting a more conventional spin, Archer played down the wrong line, leaving a significant gap between his bat and pad. The ball snuck through this gap and crashed into the stumps, completing a spectacular dismissal. Varun鈥檚 ability to disguise the delivery and generate unexpected drift showcased his mastery, leaving A??rcher bemused and England deeper in trouble.

The first innings saw a sensational bowling display from Chakravarthy who played a pivotal role in keeping England to 171/9. Opting to bowl first, India struck early through Hardik Pandya, removing Phil Salt cheaply. Ben Duckett led England鈥檚 counterattack with a rapid 51 off 28 balls, supported by Jos Buttler鈥檚 steady 24. However, Varun turned the game around in the middle overs, deceiving England鈥檚 batters with drift, turn, and pinpoint accuracy. His double strike in the 15th over, dismissing Carse and Archer, was the highlight of the innings. While Liam Livingstone鈥檚 explosive 43 off 24 ensured England crossed the 150-mark, the Indian bowlers, including Pandya (2/33) and Axar Patel (1/19), maintained control in the death overs.

]]>In a nail-biting encounter at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, India clinched a thrilling two-wicket victory over England in the second T20I to secure a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. Chasing a target of 166, India overcame a shaky start, thanks to a composed and match-defining knock from Tilak Varma, who held his nerve to take India over the line with just four balls to spare. The game saw b??rilliant individual perform?ances, high drama in the death overs, and a host of strategic battles, making it an unforgettable contest.
After being put in to bat, England posted 165/9 in their allotted 20 overs. Despite a rocky start with early dismissals of Phil Salt and Ben Duckett, captain Jos Buttler showcased his class with a measured 45 off 30 balls, supported by some fireworks from Brydon Carse, who smashed a quick 31 off 17 balls. Contributions from Jamie Smith (22 off 12) and Liam Livingstone (13 off 14) provided stability, but frequent wickets prevented England from capitalizing in the middle overs. Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel delivered impactful spells, bagging two wickets each, while the fielding effort, including a brilliant run-out of Carse, ??kept England鈥檚 total in check.
India’s chase began on a shaky note as Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson fell early, leaving the team at 19/2. Captain Suryakumar Yadav‘s quickfire 12 off 7 balls provided some momentum, but his dismissal further complicated the chase. Tilak, however, rose to the occasion with a sensational unbeaten 72 off 55 balls, blending caution with aggression. His innings featured four boundaries and five towering sixes, ensuring India stayed in the hunt. Washington Sundar chipped in with a vital 26 off 19 balls, while Ravi Bishnoi鈥檚 calm nine-run cameo sealed the deal in the final over. Despite disciplined bowling from Carse (3/29) and Adil Rashid (1/14), England failed to defend their total.

]]>England have experienced a mixed run in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle, maintaining a win-loss ra??tio that highlights both their strengths and areas of improvement.
Despite showing resilience in challenging series against top opponents like Australia, England have struggled to find consistency throughout the WTC 2023-25 cycle. Their overseas performances have been notably inconsistent, highlighted by a disappointing 4-1 defeat in India. In total, England have played 22 matches, securing 11 wins, 10 losses, and one draw, earning 114 points with a win percentage of 43.18. While they have registered dominant home victories, especially on familiar pitches, their inability to close out tight games has led to valuable points slipping away. Key players such as Joe Root and Ben Stokes have made impactful contributions with the bat, but the lack of bowling depth and occasional lapses? in strategy have hindered their overall success. As a result, they finished at sixth in the WTC standings.
England鈥檚 bowling unit has been central to their performances in the WTC 2023-25 cycle, often producing game-changing spells. Chris Woakes has been a standout performer, excelling with his control and ability to swing the ball, particularly in English conditions. Mark Wood鈥檚 raw pace and aggression have been vital, especially on surfaces favoring fast bowling, as he consistently tr??oubled top-order batters.
Rising star Brydon Carse made an immediate impact, showcasing his knack for taking crucial wickets and maintaining pressure during long spells. Another no??table performer, Shoaib Bashir, provided a spin option, contributing effectively in select matches. Collectively, the bowlers have ensured England stayed competitive by frequently dismantl??ing opposition lineups, though occasional lapses in execution have prevented them from capitalizing fully on key moments.
5. Brydon Carse
In the ongoing WTC cycle, Carse has emerged as one of England鈥檚 most potent fast-bowling weapons. In just 5 matches, he has scalped 27 wickets at a remarkable average of 19.85, underscoring his ability to consistently trouble batters. His best figures of 6/42 highlight his match-winning potential, especially in pressure situations. Carse鈥檚 economy rate of 3.43 demonstrates his ability to maintain tight control over the scoring rate, while his strike rate of 34.7 reflects his knack for taking wickets at regular intervals. Known for his ability to swing the ball both ways, Carse has become a key figure in England’s bowling lineup, and his lone five-wicket haul so far suggests more impactful performances are on the horizon.
4. Mark Wood
Wood has continued to impress with his raw pace and aggression, making him a constant threat to batters. In 9 matches, he has taken 29 wickets at an average of 29.00, with his best figures of 5/34 showcasing his ability to deliver fiery spells that can turn the tide of a match. Wood鈥檚 economy rate of 3.47 highlights his ability to control the scoring rate, even while bowling with express pace. His strike rate of 50.0 demonstrates that while he may not bowl as many overs as others, he is often England鈥檚 go-to bowler for breakthroughs. Known for his ability to reverse swing the old ball, Wood鈥檚 contributions in challenging overseas conditions have added another dimension to England鈥檚 bowling attack. His fitness and ability to maintain high speeds over long spells make him a critical part of England’s Test success.
3. Shoaib Bashir
Bashir has been a steady performer for England, especially as a spinner in a pace-dominated attack. With 49 wickets in 15 matches, he has played a crucial role in providing breakthroughs in the middle overs. His best figures of 5/41 are a testament to his ability to bowl impactful spells, particularly on surfaces that assist spin. Although his average of 40.16 and strike rate of 64.2 suggest room for improvement, Bashir鈥檚 three five-wicket hauls reflect his potential to be a match-winner. His economy rate of 3.75 indicates his capability to keep the batters in check, allowing England鈥檚 pacers to operate with more freedom. Bashir’s adaptability to different pitches, combined with his accuracy and subtle variations, make him a valuable asset for England in the WTC cycle.
2. Chris Woakes
Woakes has been the epitome of consistency and dependability for England, with 51 wickets in 12 matches at an outstanding average of 21.88. His best bowling performance of 5/62 showcases his ability to excel under pressure, especially in English conditions where his mastery of swing and seam movement is unmatched. Woakes’ economy rate of 2.98 is a testament to his disciplined approach, making him a difficult bowler to score off. With a strike rate of 44.0, he has been a reliable workhorse for England, capable of bowling long spells and maintaining intensity throughout. Adding to his contributions, Woakes has also taken 10 catches, proving his value as an all-round player in the field. Woakes remains a vital part of England鈥檚 Test setup, whether with the new ball or in the middle overs.
1. Gus Atkinson
Gus Atkinson has made a sensational impact for England in the WTC cycle, taking 52 wickets in just 11 matches. His impressive average of 22.15 highlights his ability to consistently pick up wickets while keeping the scoring rate in check. Atkinson鈥檚 standout performance of 7/45 is a reflect??ion of his capability to deliver devastating spells, dismantling even the most resilient batting lineups. With an economy rate of 3.73 and a strike rate of 35.6, he has been one of the most effective bowlers in the English attack. Notably, Atkinson has already claimed three five-wicket hauls and one ten-wicket match haul, solidifying his reputation as a game-changer. His versatility and ability to adapt to varying conditions have made him a critical asset for England, whether at home or on challenging overseas tours.
Special mention: James Anderson
During the WTC 2023-25 cycle, James Anderson, one of England鈥檚 most experienced bowlers, made significant contributions before retiring in the middle of the tournament. He finished with 19 wickets and ranked at number 7 for his side in terms of wicket-takers. His career-best performance in the cycle came with figures of 3/32, showcasing his consistency and ability to make breakthroughs. Anderson鈥檚 average of 43.15 and economy rate of 2.82 highlighted his crucial role in England’s bowling attack. Though he retired mid-cycle, his experience and skill in controlling the game made him a valuable asset, leaving behind a legacy of impactful performances. His retirement was deeply felt across the team, as England transitioned into a new phase without their veteran leader.

]]>As the cricketing world gears up for the second Test between New Zealand and England at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on Friday (December 6), the stage is set for another encounter. After an emphatic 8-wicket victory by England in the first Test, the visitors will aim to maintain their moment??um. Meanwhile, the hosts, New Zealand, will look to? bounce back with a spirited performance on their home turf.
England鈥檚 commanding performance in the opening Test showcased their depth and form in both batting and bowling departments. Harry Brook, England鈥檚 rising cricket sensation, stole the limelight with a breathtaking 171, solidifying his place among the game鈥檚 elite batters. Meanwhile, fast bowler Brydon Carse wreaked havoc, bagging 10 wickets across both innings and earning the Player of the Match award. For New Zealand, veteran Kane Williamson stood tall amidst the pressure, notching up half-centuries in both innings and reaching the miles??tone of 9,000 Test runs, becoming the only New Zealand batter to achieve this feat.
1. Kane Williamson vs Brydon Carse
The duel between New Zea?land鈥檚 batting stalwart Williamson and England鈥檚 Carse promises to be a captivating battle. Williamson, fresh off his remarkable achievement of surpassing 9,000 Test runs, displayed his class and resilience with twin half-centuries in the first Test. On the other hand, Carse, with his devastating pace and swing, was a nightmare for New Zealand鈥檚 batters, claiming a staggering 10 wickets in the match. This clash pits consistency against raw firepower, and its outcome could significantly influence the game鈥檚 trajectory.
2. Glenn Phillips vs Ben Stokes
A fiery showdown awaits as New Zealand鈥檚 explosive Glenn Phillips faces England鈥檚 talismanic captain Ben Stokes. Phillips, known for his fearless power-hitting and ability to dismantle bowlers, impressed with a gritty half-century in the series opener. Meanwhile, Stokes delivered an all-round masterclass with a ??crucial knock of 80 runs and inspiring leadership that steered England to victory. Both players are also exceptional fielders, adding an extra layer of intrigue to this matchup. Their contest will not only test their skills but could also provide thrilling, edge-of-the-seat moments for fans.
3. Tim Southee vs Harry Brook
The experienced Tim Southee, who has been the cornerstone of New Zealand鈥檚 bowling attack for over 16 years, will face the challenge of containing England鈥檚 in-form batter Brook. Southee鈥檚 guile and experience make him a formidable adversary, but Brook鈥檚 dazzling 171 in the first Test has marked him as one of the most dangerous batters in the game today. Ranked second in the ICC Men鈥檚 Test batting rankings, Brook will look to continue his red-hot form, while Southee鈥檚 ability to exploit conditions at the Basin Reserve could pro??ve pivotal. This battle may well determine the momentum during crucial phases of the match.

]]>England began their red-ball campaign in New Zealand with a dominant performance, def??eating the hosts by?? eight wickets in the first Test at Hagley Oval, Christchurch. The match showcased England’s all-round prowess, highlighted by Harry Brook‘s sensational century and Brydon Carse‘s exceptional bowling display. New Zealand fought hard with notable contributions from Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell, but England’s clinical execution in all departments ensured a convincing win.
New Zealand posted a respectable 348 runs in their first innings at Hagley Oval. Captain Tom Latham (47) and Williamson (93) held the innings together, while Glenn Phillips displayed resilience with an unbeaten 58 off 87 deliveries. However, England鈥檚 bowlers, led by Carse (4/64) and Shoaib Bashir (4/69), ensured the hosts were bowled out in 91 overs. Gus Atkinson (2/61) also contributed by striking early and removing key batters like Devon Conway and Williamson.
England responded emphatically with a commanding batting performance, scoring 499 in their first innings. Brook stole the show with a magnificent 171 off 197 balls, supported by contributions from Ollie Pope (77) and captain Ben Stokes (80). Atkinson鈥檚 rapid 48 further frustrated New Zealand鈥檚 bowlers. Matt Henry led the Kiwi attack with 4/84, while Nathan Smith (3/141) and Tim Southee (2/85) chipped in.
Trailing by 151 runs, New Zealand struggled in their second innings, managing 254 runs. Williamson once again anchored the innings with a composed 61, while Mitchell鈥檚 aggressive 84 provided hope. Despite their efforts, England鈥檚 Carse wreaked havoc with the ball, claiming another five-wicket haul (5/62) to decimate the Kiwi batting order. Chris Woakes supported him well, taking 3/59.
Chasing a modest target of 104, England wasted no time in wrapping up the game. Jacob Bethell鈥檚 unbeaten 50 off 37 balls and Joe Root鈥檚 quickfire 23 off 15 deliveries ensured an 8-wicket victory in just 12.4 overs. Matt Henry and William O鈥橰ourke picked up a wicket each for New Zealand, but it was too li??ttle, too late.
Carse delivered a brilliant performance, finishing with figures of 10/106 across both innings a?nd bagging a Player of the Match award. His devastating spells were instrumental in restricting New Zealand鈥檚 totals and earning England a comfortable win.

Brydon Carse averages 33.3 for Durham in first-class crick??et. Having picked up his maiden five-fer, he averages 1??7.9 in Test cricket. Early days, but the perfect illustration of the different attributes required for fast bowlers in county and Test cricket.

]]>England tightened their grip on the first Test against New Zealand in Christchurch, leaving the hosts in deep trouble by the end of Day 3. New Zealand stumbled to 155 for six in their second innings, leading by just four runs, as Chris Woakes and Brydon Carse dismantled the Black Caps’ batting order.
The day began with Harry Brook continuing his masterclass from the previous evening. Resuming on 132, Brook showcased a mix of elegance and aggression, crafti?ng 171 off 197 balls. His innings featured 15 fours and three towering sixes, cementing his role as England鈥檚 linchpin. Brook found an able partner in captain Ben Stokes, who? contributed a gritty 80 to further strengthen England鈥檚 dominance.
New Zealand鈥檚 woes in the field only added?? to their struggles. Five dropped catches allowed England to pile on a commanding first-innings total of 499, securing a crucial 151-run lea??d. Lower-order contributions proved vital, with Gus Atkinson smashing a quick-fire 48 off 36 balls and Carse remaining unbeaten on 33, frustrating the New Zealand bowlers.
In the second innings, New Zealand鈥檚 batting faltered against England鈥檚 disciplin?ed bowling attack. Tom Latham (1) and ?Devon Conway (8) departed cheaply before tea, putting the hosts under immense pressure. Kane Williamson stood as the lone warrior, crafting a sublime 61 and completing 9,000 runs in Test cricket. However, his resistance ended when Woakes trapped him lbw, delivering a double blow by dismissing Tom Blundell for a golden duck in the same over.
Glenn Phillips attempted to steady the innings with a brief knock of 19 but was undone by Carse, who struck with precision to have him lbw. At stumps, Daryl Mitchell (31*) and debutant Nathan Smith (1*) were ??ta??sked with salvaging New Zealand鈥檚 innings.
England鈥檚 bowlers were exceptional, with Woakes (3 for 39) and Carse (3 for 22) exploiting the conditions masterfully. Their consistent line and length left New Zeala??nd struggling to find answers.
As Day 4 approaches, New Zealand face an uphill battle to avoid a crushing defeat. Mitchell and Smith will need to dig deep if the Black Caps are to mount a comeback against a con??fident and well-rounded England side.
