Brydon Carse takes two wickets in first over for Durham after England omission

Brydon Carse claimed two wickets in his first over on return to Durham duty in the County Championship on Thursday. The seamer, dropped from England's Test squad following a nightclub incident, struck early against Gloucestershire. Durham's coach Ryan Campbell confirmed the county would continue selecting Carse unless directed otherwise.

Carse's performance came as Michael Vaughan criticised England's culture and attitude after the bowler's omission. England face Pakistan in the second Test at Lord's, where the absence of seam options has been noted by observers.

The 29-year-old had been expected to feature for England before the incident removed him from consideration. His county return provides immediate evidence of his form and fitness.
