England fast bowler Brydon Carse has been dropped from the squad for the second Test against Pakistan following an investigation into an incident at a club in Derby, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) says.<\/p>\n
“Following a referral from the ECB, the Cricket Regulator has confirmed that they will investigate events on Saturday night in Derby,” the ECB said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Bazball’s complex legacy<\/a><\/p>\n Brendon McCullum deliberately set out to make England’s men’s Test team a less complicated team to play cricket for. After four years of Bazball’s highs and lows, it leaves a very complicated legacy.<\/p>\n “Brydon Carse will no longer be available for selection for the second men’s Test while this investigation is ongoing and the full facts are obtained.”<\/p>\n Carse, who did not play in the opening test victory at Headingley, will be replaced by Sonny Baker.<\/p>\n Videos circulated on social media appearing to show the 31-year-old Durham bowler in handcuffs being spoken to by police officers outside a venue.<\/p>\n According to reports, Carse was not arrested, and no charges were brought.<\/p>\n BBC reported that Derbyshire Police confirmed a man in his 30s was arrested, but then de-arrested shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n “A man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly in Derby city centre on Saturday night, 22 August,” a police statement said, according to the BBC.<\/p>\n “However, the man was de-arrested shortly afterwards, having agreed to leave the area.”<\/p>\n It has been a busy summer for England’s Cricket Regulator, the body set up to investigate matters where there is an allegation of a breach of the ECB’s code of conduct.<\/p>\n In June it concluded an investigation into former test captain Ben Stokes and fast bowler Gus Atkinson after a nightclub incident following the first test against New Zealand.<\/p>\n Both were left out of the second test before the Regulator ruled that there was insufficient evidence to establish that any regulatory breach occurred.<\/p>\n The latest investigation comes less than a week after England’s returning test captain Joe Root spoke of the players being “really good role models and human beings” following a series of incidents and accusations of a drinking culture.<\/p>\n Controversy has followed England in recent times, with off-field issues during last winter’s tours, including Harry Brook being fined \u00a330,000 ($57,200) following an altercation in Wellington, as well as reports of drinking during a mid-Ashes series trip to Noosa.<\/p>\n Stokes eventually announced his retirement<\/a> from international cricket while Brendon McCullum was sacked as Test coach<\/a>, with Root confirming that the team had done away with the curfews under new coach Stephen Fleming<\/a>.<\/p>\n Reuters<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"England fast bowler Brydon Carse has been dropped from the squad for the second Test against Pakistan following…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":867052,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[5844,64,63,88648,740,3745,1208,588,85],"class_list":["post-867051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-abc-sport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-brydon-carse","tag-cricket","tag-ecb","tag-england","tag-sport","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=867051"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867051\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/867052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=867051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=867051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=867051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
