It is unclear whether England cricketer Brydon Carse had a role in the alleged assault being investigated by police.<\/p>\n

Published On 27 Aug 202627 Aug 2026<\/p>\n

Police in Derbyshire are looking into \u201callegations of assault\u201d following the incident that saw England fast bowler Brydon Carse handcuffed outside a nightclub at the weekend.<\/p>\n

Carse was dropped from the squad<\/a> for the second Test against Pakistan, which begins at Lord\u2019s on Thursday, after the Cricket Regulator initiated an investigation into the incident that saw the Durham paceman arrested outside a late-night bar in Derby \u2013 then released after agreeing to leave the scene.<\/p>\n

In an updated statement issued late Wednesday, Derbyshire Police said: \u201cWe are investigating allegations of assault in Derby city centre. No arrests have yet been made and the investigation is ongoing\u201d.<\/p>\n

Further details are unknown, with no clarity over what part \u2013 if any \u2013 Carse had in the alleged assault. The England and Wales Cricket Board has yet to comment publicly on the latest developments.<\/p>\n

An initial statement from the force, released after video of Carse apparently being detained by officers in the street, had said: \u201cA man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly in Derby city centre on Saturday night. However, the man was de-arrested shortly afterwards, having agreed to leave the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former England captain Ben Stokes and centrally contracted seamer Matthew Potts both appeared in the video taken in the aftermath of their Durham side\u2019s County Championship victory over Derbyshire, though there is no suggestion either was involved in anything untoward.<\/p>\n

Stokes\u2019s successor as Test skipper, Joe Root, spoke angrily<\/a> on Tuesday about the latest in a growing list of alcohol-related incidents in the England set-up.<\/p>\n

Root, who abolished the midnight curfew that contributed to Stokes\u2019s exit following another controversial night out earlier this season, said: \u201cIf I\u2019m being brutally honest, I\u2019m really hacked off.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve spoken to Brydon and when I first found out, my first concern was him as a person. I don\u2019t think I\u2019m speaking out of turn in saying he\u2019s very upset, very apologetic and understands his actions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Root added: \u201cBut it\u2019s not the isolated incident itself; it\u2019s the fact we continuously keep making stupid mistakes away from the game and it\u2019s detracting from what we are doing on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It is unclear whether England cricketer Brydon Carse had a role in the alleged assault being investigated by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":870208,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,2057,44,588,85,3586],"class_list":["post-870207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-europe","tag-news","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-united-kingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870207","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=870207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870207\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/870208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=870207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=870207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=870207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
