Mitchell Stanley of Lancashire has been confirmed by the Northern Superchargers as the replacement for England fast bowler Brydon Carse, who has been ruled out of The Hundred 2025. After Carse had a demanding Test series against India, the decision was decided after a medical conference with the management of the England squad.
Brydon Carse 155 overs in four Test matches during England’s just-completed Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series against India, playing a significant role. Because of his ability to manage his workload, he was later rested for the final Test at The Oval.
“I regrettably cannot participate for the Northern Superchargers in The Hundred this year after a lengthy series against India and after consulting with the medical department.
According to Cricbuzz, Brydon Carse stated, “I’m excited to watch from the sidelines and to represent the team again in the future.”
After The Hundred, England will tour Ireland and New Zealand, play a white-ball series against South Africa in September, and then go to Australia for the much anticipated Ashes series.

In addition, the Durham pacer has been recuperating from a foot ailment sustained on the white-ball tour of India earlier this year. He missed the 2025 Champions Trophy due to the injury, which kept him out of commission for about three months. Brydon Carse even disclosed in June that he thought about having his toe amputated because of infection and frequent cuts on his bowling foot.
In the India Test series, the bowler took just nine wickets at an average of 60.88. But his absence has allowed young Stanley to have a significant effect on The Hundred.
Ben Stokes, the captain of the England Test team, has been appointed as the Northern Superchargers’ mentor. Due to workload management, the all-rounder has disqualified himself from the competition this season. Nonetheless, he intends to carry out the mentorship role while continuing his rehabilitation.
“I’ll be knocking around the Hundred, but not in a playful manner. In January, following my hamstring surgery, I had to make a decision about whether or not to compete in the competition. I’ll be milling about because I mentioned that I’d still like to be involved. I won’t have a pen and notebook. I promised to come and help the squad out. Earlier this year, ESPNcricinfo cited Stokes as saying, “I will be cracking on with my rehab.”
