A high-velocity right-arm fast bowler with the ability to consistently clock 91 mph (146 km/h), Brydon Carse (born July 31, 1995) has become one of England’s most vital multi-format assets. Known for his “heart of a lion” approach and heavy-ball pace, Carse’s journey from Port Elizabeth to spearheading the England attack is a story of raw speed and resilience.
As of January 21, 2026, Carse is fresh from an intense Ashes 2025/26 campaign in Australia. Despite England’s struggles, Carse emerged as a primary pace threat, earning high praise from captain Ben Stokes. He is currently preparing for England’s upcoming white-ball tour of Sri Lanka (starting late January 2026).
Brydon Carse: Career Profile & 2026 Outlook
The “Sunrisers” Special Connection
Brydon Carse has built a unique relationship with the “Sunrisers” brand across three major T20 leagues:
-
Sunrisers Hyderabad (IPL): After being ruled out of the 2025 season due to a toe injury sustained during the 2025 Champions Trophy, Carse has been officially retained for IPL 2026 at his price of ₹1.00 Crore. He is expected to bolster a pace attack that includes stars like Pat Cummins.
-
Sunrisers Leeds (The Hundred): On January 13, 2026, it was confirmed that Carse has been retained by Sunrisers Leeds (formerly Northern Superchargers) for the 2026 season of The Hundred.
-
Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SA20): A key part of the squad that secured the inaugural SA20 title, maintaining his status as a global franchise favorite.
The 2025-26 Ashes Breakthrough
Carse’s transition to Test cricket has been transformative. Following a 10-wicket match haul in Christchurch in late 2024, he entered the 2025/26 Ashes as a “relentless” enforcer. His ability to extract bounce on Australian pitches and bowl long, hostile spells has made him the spiritual successor to England’s traditional pace greats.
All-Round Potential
While primarily a strike bowler, Carse is a “genuine” lower-order threat. He recorded his maiden Test half-century against India in mid-2025 and has consistently provided valuable cameos in ODIs, including a gritty 36 (30) against New Zealand in November 2025.
