Joe Root ‘hacked off’ by latest England off-field incident

Root expressed frustration that another off-field lapse has overshadowed England’s recent Test win.

England have removed Brydon Carse from their squad for the second Test against Pakistan at Lord’s after footage emerged of him in police handcuffs outside a Derby nightclub. The England Cricket Regulator has launched an investigation into the incident. Captain Joe Root said the team continues to make “stupid mistakes” that undermine on-field achievements. Sonny Baker replaced Carse in the 15-man squad. The Lord’s Test begins on Thursday.
