matches in the 2025 edition of The Hundred, scoring 227 runs at an average of 37.83 and is reportedly set to earn in the region of \u00a3500,000 for his participation with Sunrisers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Fast bowler Carse did not feature at all last year in the competition, having been rested by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in order to manage his workload.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">This summer&#8217;s edition of The Hundred will run from 21 July to 16 August, taking place in a gap in the schedule between England&#8217;s white-ball series against India and a Test series against Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Sunrisers Leeds have also announced all-rounder Mitch Marsh and seamer Nathan Ellis as their direct signings, with the experienced Australian duo set to be available for the whole tournament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Teams in The Hundred are allowed to make up to four pre-auction retentions or direct signings with the first-ever auction set to take place in March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Former New Zealand spinner Vettori, 46, takes over from ex-England captain Andrew Flintoff as head coach of the men&#8217;s franchise team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Flintoff, 48, had been in charge of the Superchargers for the past two seasons but said he was &#8220;worth more&#8221; than what the Sunrisers offered him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Vettori has been head coach of IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad since 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I am looking forward to the upcoming season with the Sunrisers and hope the orange army can fill the stands,&#8221; Vettori said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Harry #Brook #Brydon #Carse #retained #Sunrisers #Leeds #Daniel #Vettori #appointed #Andrew #Flintoffs #successor #coach<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunrisers Leeds have retained England players Harry Brook and Brydon Carse for the 2026 edition of The Hundred, with Daniel&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":47305,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47304"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47304\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47306,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47304\/revisions\/47306"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
