Durham will pick bowler Carse until told otherwise

Durham coach Ryan Campbell has stated that the club will continue to select bowler Brydon Carse for matches unless instructed otherwise. Carse, 31, was initially removed from England's second Test squad against Pakistan following his arrest on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly after Durham's win over Derbyshire. Images on social media showed Carse in handcuffs and surrounded by police officers.

Durham picked Carse for their County Championship match against Gloucestershire on Thursday. Campbell expressed that Carse feels he has let the team down and acknowledged that he will have to live with the consequences. Derbyshire Police are investigating allegations of assault, but Carse has been de-arrested. The national team selection process will be delayed by the police investigation.

Carse, with 58 England caps, is unlikely to be selected until the regulator completes its investigation. This incident adds to a series of off-field issues involving England's men's team players, including former captain Ben Stokes. Campbell emphasized that they are still open to Carse's participation in Durham matches and are awaiting the outcome of the regulator's investigation.
