SA-born Brydon Carse called up to England T20 squad for New Zealand series

Brydon Carse has been called up to England's white-ball squad for the T20 series with New Zealand after John Turner was ruled out with a side injury.

Uncapped Turner received his maiden England call-up last week after he caught the eye for Hampshire in the T20 Blast.

Injury has now sidelined Johannesburg-born seamer Turner and Carse will hope to add to his nine England appearances during the upcoming series.

Carse, who was also born in South Africa, has endured an injury-hit couple of years since his international bow in 2021 against Pakistan.

The Durham quick has played nine ODIs but struggled with toe, knee and side injuries respectively in recent times.

He has not represented his country in the shortest format of the game and will aim to catch the eye of England white-ball head coach Matthew Mott during the four-match T20 series, which begins at his home ground of Chester-le-Street on August 30.
