England cricketer withdrawn from squad after nightclub incident in Derby

Brydon Carse, an England fast bowler, is under investigation following an incident at a nightclub in Derby on Saturday. Videos circulating on social media show Carse being led away by four police officers, handcuffed, though he was not arrested. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has launched a probe into the matter. Carse, who is part of the squad for the upcoming second Test against Pakistan, was seen outside a nightclub in Derby, along with teammates Matthew Potts and former England captain Ben Stokes.

Carse returned to the team hotel shortly after the incident. This is the latest in a series of off-field episodes involving England players over the past year, including Harry Brook's altercation with a nightclub bouncer in Wellington last November.
