Brydon Carse withdrawn from Lord's Test after nightclub incident
England fast bowler Brydon Carse has been withdrawn from the squad for the second Test against Pakistan at Lord's following an incident outside a Derby nightclub.
England fast bowler Brydon Carse has been withdrawn from the squad for the second Test against Pakistan at Lord's following an incident outside a Derby nightclub that is being investigated by the Cricket Regulator. Derbyshire Police are looking into allegations of assault after Carse was handcuffed outside the nightspot over the weekend.
The withdrawal leaves England without one of their key pace options for the Lord's Test. Carse had been named in the original squad but was removed following the incident that occurred prior to the match.
England cricket authorities have not commented on the investigation beyond confirming Carse's unavailability for the Test match at Lord's.
