ECB investigating England bowler Brydon Carse for 'nightclub incident'
The ECB is investigating after videos circulating online appear to show England bowler Brydon Carse being led away from a nightclub in handcuffs.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is investigating England bowler Brydon Carse following an alleged incident at a nightclub in Derby. According to reports, Carse was seen in handcuffs being led away by police officers, though he was not on England duty at the time. The incident occurred on Saturday, and Carse is set to meet up with the squad on Monday.
The ECB is currently investigating the situation and will provide an update when possible. This investigation comes in the wake of England captain Joe Root's call for his players to be role models and good human beings. The ECB's probe follows a series of off-field issues for the English cricket team, including an incident involving Harry Brook and a nightclub bouncer in Wellington, as well as a heavy defeat by Australia. Root decided to scrap the midnight curfew imposed in January earlier this month.
