(MENAFN- Live Mint) Sunrisers Hyderabad have suffered yet another blow to their bowling attack with England seamer David Payne being ruled out of the remainder of IPL 2026 due to an ankle injury.

The left-arm pacer, who was brought in as a replacement for Australian quick Jack Edwards (out with a foot injury), managed just two appearances for SRH before the setback. In those matches, Payne conceded 70 runs while picking up two wickets, 2/35 in three overs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and 0/35 in two overs against Kolkata Knight Riders.

This latest injury adds to SRH's growing list of pace concerns. Just days ago, England all-rounder Brydon Carse was also sidelined with a hand injury sustained during a net session at the start of the season. Carse did not feature in a single game for the franchise, prompting SRH to sign Sri Lankan left-armer Dilshan Madushanka as his replacement.
