Brydon Carse will not face any charges after Derbyshire police dropped an investigation into an alleged assault<\/a> in Derby city centre last month.<\/p>\n

The fast bowler was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly during a night out with his Durham teammates following a County Championship win over Derbyshire, which led to him being dropped from the England squad for the 3-0 Test series win over Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Carse had been a non-playing member of the squad for the first Test at Headingley before being released to play for Durham, who beat Derbyshire by 338 runs to close in on promotion from Division Two, which has since been secured.<\/p>\n

Images circulating on social media the day after the game on Sunday 23 August showed Carse in handcuffs surrounded by police officers, which led to Derbyshire police confirming the following day a man had been arrested outside Molly Malone\u2019s bar. \u201cA man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly in Derby city centre on Saturday night,\u201d a police statement read.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the man was de-arrested shortly afterwards having agreed to leave the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the following Wednesday, the police gave a further statement, which added: \u201cWe are investigating allegations of an assault in Derby city centre. No arrests have yet been made and the investigation is ongoing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Guardian has learned that the matter is now closed, however, with no action to be taken.<\/p>\n

Carse will face a further investigation from the Cricket<\/a> Regulator to determine whether he will be subject to any disciplinary action from the England and Wales Cricket Board, which employs him on a two-year central contract that has 12 months to run. Carse was left out of the England squad for this month\u2019s T20 and one-day international series against Sri Lanka, despite being available for selection, with the white-ball head coach Brendon McCullum saying this week that he had to \u201cwork through the issues\u201d that followed his arrest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brydon Carse will not face any charges after Derbyshire police dropped an investigation into an alleged assault in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":896735,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-896734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/896734","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=896734"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/896734\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/896735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=896734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=896734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=896734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
