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 cricket authorities have removed bowler Brydon Carse from the team for the second Test against Pakistan following an incident at a nightclub in Derby. The 31-year-old was briefly arrested on Saturday night after images surfaced showing him in handcuffs outside a bar. Derbyshire Police confirmed that Carse was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly but was subsequently de-arrested.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) referred the matter to the Cricket Regulator, who will investigate the incident. As a result, Carse has been dropped from the squad and replaced by Sonny Baker. This marks the third off-field disciplinary issue for an England player this summer. The incident occurred less than 48 hours before Carse was set to join the rest of the England squad in London for the second Test at Lord's.
