England cricketer Brydon Carse has been stood down from the national team's squad ahead of the second Test match against Pakistan. This decision follows the emergence of video footage showing the 31-year-old fast bowler in police handcuffs outside Molly Malone’s Tavern in Derby city centre on Saturday night.

The incident occurred while Carse was celebrating a County Championship victory for Durham over Derbyshire. According to reports, the player was detained by police for a short duration, described as lasting “a few minutes,” before being released. Authorities confirmed that Carse was not arrested or charged in connection with the encounter.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has initiated a formal disciplinary investigation into the matter. While the investigation is ongoing, the ECB has opted to remove Carse from the squad to address the situation. The footage, which was captured by a member of the public, has prompted scrutiny regarding the conduct of professional players during their personal time. As of now, neither Carse nor his representatives have provided a detailed public statement regarding the specific circumstances that led to the police interaction. The team management is expected to provide further updates once the disciplinary body concludes its review of the incident.
