England drop fast bowler Carse after nightclub incident

Brydon Carse, the England fast bowler, has been removed from the Test squad due to an incident at a Derby nightclub. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has launched an investigation following footage showing Carse in handcuffs. Despite reports of no arrest and no charges, the ECB initiated the probe. The second Test between England and Pakistan is set to commence on August 27.

Carse will miss the match while the investigation is ongoing, and he will be replaced by Sonny Baker. Derbyshire Police confirmed a man in his 30s was arrested for being drunk and disorderly but was subsequently de-arrested. This marks yet another off-field controversy for England's cricket squad, following a series of incidents and accusations during recent tours.
