An England cricketer does have a public profile: Atherton on Carse row

Brydon Carse, a prominent English cricketer, has found himself in hot water after being handcuffed outside a club in Derby on Saturday night. The 31-year-old pacer is now the third England cricketer this year to be removed from the squad for misconduct related to club visits. Earlier this year, Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson were dropped from the team after a nightclub incident that involved another rugby player.

Former England captain Michael Atherton has criticized the situation and emphasized the greater responsibility of England cricketers due to their public profile. Atherton acknowledges that Carse may not have broken the team curfew, which had been recently lifted by new captain Joe Root. However, Root had previously warned the team against the consequences of such behavior, and Carse's actions seem to align with that warning.
