Aiden Markram jets back to South Africa, will miss remainder of the Hundred

Markram skippered the Super Giants in the first five matches of the tournament, winning two and losing three, with Jos Buttler now taking over captaincy duties.

New Zealand allrounder Michael Bracewell has been added to the Super Giants' squad as a replacement player.

"Manchester Super Giants can confirm that men's captain Aiden Markram has returned to South Africa due to personal reasons," the franchise said on Wednesday.

"Everyone at the Super Giants would like to extend our very best wishes to Aiden at this time, and thank him for his contribution to the team during this year's competition."

The 35-year-old Bracewell has recently been playing for Lahore Qalandars in the Global Super League, and played in the Hundred for Southern Brave last year.
