English cricket investigates reported nightclub incident involving test bowler Brydon Carse
England's cricket authorities are probing a reported nightclub incident involving fast bowler Brydon Carse, a member of the test squad set to face Pakistan in an upcoming match. Footage on social media allegedly shows Carse being led away by police officers from a club in Derby, England, on Saturday night. The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed they are aware of the incident and are currently investigating.
The incident occurred outside a club in Derby, East Midlands, on Saturday. Carse is not yet removed from the England squad for the second test match starting Thursday at Lord's. This incident follows a nightclub incident in June involving former England captain Ben Stokes and bowler Gus Atkinson, which resulted in their removal from a match against New Zealand. Stokes has since returned to the team but has announced his retirement.
