Joe Root urges England to earn back trust of nation after Carse incident

England captain Joe Root urged his side to earn back the trust of the nation amid another off-field incident dominating the build-up to the second Test against Pakistan. Root expressed frustration that a winning return as captain has been overshadowed by disciplinary concerns.

England omitted Brydon Carse from their squad for the second Test at Lord's amid an investigation into a nightclub incident in Derby. Derbyshire Police are investigating allegations of assault connected to the incident.

The England Cricket Regulator has launched a separate probe into the matter. It is not yet clear what role Carse played in the alleged assault that occurred while he was not in the playing XI for the opening Test in Leeds.
