Brydon Carse's WAR/M of -0.03 is negative, meaning he has produced below replacement-level value across 29 career T20 matches. His bowling WAR/M of -0.16 is the primary drag, driven by an economy that runs above expected in every phase. His regressed WAR/M of 0.04 is pulled toward the mean but remains well below the threshold for selection.

He sits outside SRH's optimal XII, behind Eshan Malinga, Pat Cummins, Jack Edwards, Kamindu Mendis, and Liam Livingstone in the overseas pecking order. He is the sixth overseas option.

Bowling: The Core Problem

Carse bowled at 9.2 economy across 477 career bowling deliveries. In the middle overs, his 8.9 economy is slightly above average. At the death, 10.8 economy is well above average. In the powerplay, 8.5 economy is his best phase.

He took 29 career wickets, but the run-rate damage offsets the wicket-taking. His IPL confidence of 0.63 suggests the sample is meaningful enough to take these numbers seriously.

Batting: Below Average Everywhere

With the bat, Carse strikes at 121 across 133 career balls. At the death, he manages just 129 SR across 76 balls. In the middle, 110 across 62 balls. He does not provide the lower-order hitting that other overseas allrounders offer.

What This Means for IPL 2026

Carse is a deep reserve who would only play if multiple overseas options are unavailable simultaneously. His xImpact of 37 is the lowest among SRH's overseas players. He provides pace depth and nothing more.
