SRH Welcomes Madushanka as New Addition

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has officially signed Dilshan Madushanka as a replacement for Brydon Carse for the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season. Carse, a 30-year-old English fast bowler, has been sidelined due to an injury.

He will join SRH for a fee of Rs 75 Lakh. Previously, he was part of the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the IPL.
