England drop Carse after nightclub incident
Pace bowler Brydon Carse is removed from England's squad for the second Test against Pakistan following an incident that led to him being handcuffed by police.
England have removed pace bowler Brydon Carse from the squad for the second Test against Pakistan following an incident outside a bar in Derby on Saturday night. Images of Carse, 31, in handcuffs were shared on social media, though he was not arrested. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has referred the matter to the Cricket Regulator, who will investigate the events.
As a result, Carse has been replaced by Sonny Baker and will not be available for selection during the ongoing investigation. This is the latest in a series of off-field incidents involving England players, with Carse becoming the third player to miss a Test due to disciplinary issues this summer.
