Carse assault investigation dropped by police
England fast bowler Brydon Carse will face no further police action after an investigation into an alleged assault in Derby last month is dropped.
England fast bowler Brydon Carse will not face any further police action over an alleged assault in Derby last month, according to the Derbyshire Police. Footage of Carse, captured in the early hours of Sunday, 23 August, showed him in handcuffs and surrounded by officers. The 31-year-old had initially been arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly, but was later de-arrested after his details were taken by the police.
Following the incident, Carse was removed from the England squad for the second Test against Pakistan. Derbyshire Police confirmed they were investigating allegations of assault, but the investigation has now been closed. The England and Wales Cricket Board, along with Carse, have been asked for their response to the situation. This incident marks one of several late-night alcohol-related controversies that have affected the England men's cricket team in the past year.
