Story summary

England bowler Brydon Carse, 31, is under investigation by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) over a video showing him being led away from a nightclub in Derby in handcuffs by police. The incident occurred on Sunday at around 4am after an alleged disturbance, although Carse was later de-arrested without charge. The ECB has confirmed it is investigating the matter, but would not comment on whether Carse will remain part of England's squad for the upcoming second Test against Pakistan at Lord's, which starts next week. Meanwhile, Derbyshire Police are separately investigating an alleged assault related to the incident. This marks another controversy involving English cricketers and alcohol-related incidents in recent years, with Carse joining a growing list of players who have been involved in such incidents.
