England Omit Brydon Carse for Second Pakistan Test After Nightclub Video
The ECB has sidelined the all-rounder pending an investigation into a viral clip from a weekend outing.
Brydon Carse will not be part of England's squad for the second Test against Pakistan at Lord's, the ECB announced on Monday. The decision follows the emergence of a video on social media over the weekend, which reportedly shows the fast bowler in handcuffs during an incident in Derby.
The ECB stated that Carse will remain unavailable for selection until the board has gathered the full facts surrounding the matter. Officials are currently reviewing the footage and have not set a timeline for their inquiry.
Carse was also left out of the playing XI for the series opener in Leeds last week, though that decision was separate from the current controversy. The second Test begins later this week in London, with England already leading the three-match series 1-0.
