England Pacer Brydon Carse Dropped After Police Incident Ahead of Pakistan Test
England pacer Brydon Carse was handcuffed by police outside a pub in Durham, leading to his removal from the second Test against Pakistan. The England Cricket Board and Cricket Regulator are investigating the incident. Former England pacer Steve Harmison called for cricket to address broader systemic issues rather than focusing solely on Carse, referencing previous disciplinary cases involving players like Ben Stokes. Carse will be replaced by Sonny Baker for the upcoming Test at Lord's.
