England pacer Brydon Carse charged by Cricket Regulator for nightclub incident

England fast bowler Brydon Carse has been charged by the Cricket Regulator for bringing the game into disrepute following a late-night incident in Derby in August. The 31-year-old was arrested and subsequently de-arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly while out with his county side Durham teammates. A video circulating on social media showed him in handcuffs.

The incident led to Carse being immediately dropped from England’s squad for the second Test against Pakistan and he has not featured for the national side since. The matter will now be referred to the independent Cricket Discipline Panel for adjudication. Carse, who last played for England during the final Ashes Test against Australia in January, missed the early part of the English summer due to injury before returning to help Durham secure promotion to Division One in an unbeaten County Championship campaign.
