The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have included Brydon Carse in their squad for the upcoming four-match T20I series against the New Zealand cricket team. Brydon Carse replaced uncapped pacer John Turner, who was ruled out of the series due to injury.
Carse has yet to represent the national team in the shorter format of the game in international cricket. The right-arm pacer played for England in nine ODIs and last played in July 2022. He picked up 12 wickets at an average of 31.83, with a best figure of 5/61.
England Will Host Limited Over Series Against New Zealand
The Jos Buttler-led team will host the white-ball series against the Black Caps, which includes four T20Is and four ODIs. The limited-overs series will start with the first T20I scheduled to be played at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street on Wednesday, August 30.
Three uncapped players, Gus Atkinson, John Turner, and Josh Tongue, received their maiden call-ups for the national team in the shorter format. However, Turner has been ruled out of the series due to a side injury sustained while representing Trent Rockets in the Men’s Hundred.

We’re Also Excited – Luke Wright
National men’s team’s national selector Luke Wright spoke about the selection of uncapped players for the T20I series against the Kiwis at home.
“We’re also excited to give first international call-ups to both Gus Atkinson and John Turner while Josh Tongue has deserved a place in the T20 squad after impressing during the Ashes. Any series against New Zealand is closely fought and will provide us with an ideal opportunity to test ourselves against one of the best teams in the world.”
