  "account": "English cricket has faced another scandal involving its players and late-night drinking. Brydon Carse, a fast bowler for England's national team, was arrested outside a nightclub on Sunday morning after being surrounded by police officers. The incident occurred days after England captain Joe Root had called for a cultural reset and better off-field behavior from the team. Root had previously fined Harry Brook 30,000 pounds ($40,300) for his behavior during a night out in New Zealand before an Ashes series with Australia, and Brook had been fined and given a final warning for his conduct. In the past, England players have been fined and reprimanded for their behavior after late-night outings, but the latest incident involving Carse has reignited calls for a cultural transformation within the team.",
