The announcement came right after the opener had decided to take a break from first-class cricket following the snub from the England national cricket team. Zak Crawley is among the English batters who have been struggling continuously to score runs as per the expectations. In the first six matches of the County Championship fixtures, the experienced batter remained without a half-century, after which he decided to put his first-class career into a halt.
Zak is on a break from First-Class cricket
“After discussions between Zak Crawley, the player group, coaching staff, and the ECB, Crawley will be rested for the next two County Championship fixtures,” Kent informed in an official statement.
This year’s The Hundred league is scheduled to start on July 21. Ahead of the season opener, Sunrisers Leeds will expect their newly appointed captain to find his run-scoring bat again.
“ESPNcricinfo has learned that Crawley is also set to be appointed captain at Sunrisers Leeds for the Hundred, with his team-mate Harry Brook agreeing with the franchise that he should play without the burden of captaincy this season,” reported early, only a couple of days ago.
Sunrisers finished third in 2025
Ahead of the 2026 season, Sunrisers Leeds retained Harry Brook and Brydon Carse for the 2026 edition of The Hundred, with Daniel Vettori as their men’s team head coach. Brook and Carse, both of the England internationals, have been with the franchise since the tournament's 2021 inaugural season.
Last season, under the leadership of Harry Brook, Sunrisers Leeds (Previously known as Northern Superchargers), finished third in the 8-team points table with five wins and three defeats in 8 matches. Oval Invincibles, the champions of the 2026 The Hundred, emerged as the champions with 24 points.
