New normal dawning for England after Carse night out
Players are under more scrutiny from general public than ever before - and they only have themselves to blame
England fast bowler Brydon Carse found himself in handcuffs outside a nightclub in Derby on Saturday night, igniting an investigation by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). The footage circulating on social media depicts Carse being escorted by police with his hands behind his back, alongside teammates Matthew Potts and England captain Ben Stokes.
However, Carse was later released without charge. The circumstances surrounding the incident are unclear. Carse, who recently played a dominant role in Durham's victory over Derbyshire, was part of England's squad for the upcoming second Test against Pakistan at Lord's. He is currently sidelined due to injury but had previously been England's leading wicket-taker during the Ashes.
The incident has reignited scrutiny over England players' conduct outside of matches, following similar investigations last summer involving Stokes and Gus Atkinson.
