England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is investigating bowler Brydon Carse, a member of the England team facing Pakistan next week at Lord's, over a video showing him being led away from a nightclub by police in handcuffs. The alleged incident occurred before Carse was on England duty, but his status for the upcoming second Test remains unclear as the ECB has not confirmed whether he is still part of the squad. No details about the investigation or the circumstances surrounding the incident are provided. The investigation is ongoing with no further information available.

Story summary

Brydon Carse, a 31-year-old bowler for the England cricket team, is under investigation after being seen in handcuffs outside a nightclub in Derby. The incident occurred on Sunday morning, around 4am, when Carse was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly. However, he was later "de-arrested" after agreeing to leave the area. Now, Derbyshire Police is investigating allegations of an assault in connection with Carse's arrest, but no arrests have been made yet. As a result of the incident, Carse has been dropped from the England squad for their second Test against Pakistan, which starts today at Lord's. This is the latest in a series of controversies surrounding English cricketers and alcohol-related incidents.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
