England drop Brydon Carse from Sri Lanka white-ball squads

England have left Brydon Carse out of their white-ball squads for the Sri Lanka series after an ongoing investigation into a late-night incident in Derby last month. The 31-year-old fast bowler was told to work through the issues that led to his arrest on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly outside a bar while celebrating a County Championship win. He remains available for selection but will miss both the T20Is and ODIs.

The ECB said the decision does not prejudge the outcome of the Cricket Regulator's investigation. Carse has been unavailable since the Derby episode occurred during England's home Test series against New Zealand. Aneurin Donald and Henry Crocombe have been added to cover for injured regulars.

The multi-format white-ball series against Sri Lanka begins later this month. Carse was also omitted from the squad for the third Test against Pakistan.
