England Bowler Brydon Carse Dropped Amid ECB Investigation into Nightclub Incident
England fast bowler Brydon Carse is under investigation by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) following a video showing him in handcuffs outside a nightclub in Derby. The incident occurred after Carse celebrated Durham's County Championship win. He was detained but not arrested or charged. As a result, Carse has been dropped from England's squad for the second Test against Pakistan and replaced by Sonny Baker. Former England captain Ben Stokes was also present near the scene. The ECB has referred the matter to the Cricket Regulator for further investigation.
