England has dropped pacer Brydon Carse for the second test against Pakistan due to an alleged late-night incident, according to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). Social media images revealed Carse in police handcuffs outside a nightclub in Derby on Saturday night, following a club game. The ECB stated that Carse will be replaced by Sonny Baker for the upcoming test, which begins on Thursday.
The Cricket Regulator has launched an investigation into the events of Saturday night in Derby to review any potential breaches of ECB regulations. The incident occurs just days after the midnight curfew for the England men's cricket team was lifted under new captain Joe Root. The curfew had been implemented by managing director Rob Key following late-night incidents during the winter tours of New Zealand and Australia.
