Police investigate alleged assault linked to Carse nightclub incident
Derbyshire Police are investigating allegations of assault after England fast bowler Brydon Carse was arrested outside a Derby nightclub.
Derbyshire Police are looking into allegations of assault following the incident that saw England bowler Brydon Carse handcuffed outside a nightspot over the weekend. Carse was withdrawn from the squad for the second Test against Pakistan at Lord's from Thursday.
The incident is also under investigation by the Cricket Regulator. Footage of Carse kept flashing up on the big screens at Lord's on Thursday, though not the footage related to the arrest.
Former England players Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson have criticised the recurring pattern of off-field incidents involving the current squad.

The police investigation raises the stakes for the Cricket Regulator's parallel inquiry, which could now face external pressure to align its findings with any criminal charges.
