Another nightclub incident hits England: Fast bowler handcuffed, detained by police; ECB launches probe

England fast bowler Brydon Carse is under investigation after an incident at a nightclub in Derby on Saturday, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Sunday.Videos circulating on social media appeared to show Carse being led away from a club in handcuffs by four police officers. Carse, who is part of England’s squad for the second Test against Pakistan, was seen outside a nightclub in Derby.Durham and England teammate Matthew Potts was seen speaking to Carse, while former England captain Ben Stokes also appeared in the background.Carse was briefly detained at the scene but was not arrested, according to The Telegraph. He returned to the team hotel soon afterwards.“We are aware of an incident which is reported to have taken place in Derby last night, and are currently investigating,” the ECB said in a statement.“We will provide a further update when possible.”Carse and Potts had played for Durham earlier on Saturday as they beat Derbyshire by 338 runs in a second-division County Championship match in Derby.Carse, 31, has played 14 Tests and was included in England’s squad for the first two Tests of the three-match series against Pakistan. He did not feature in the opening Test at Headingley, where England lost by an innings and 103 runs inside three days.The second Test at Lord’s starts on Thursday.The incident comes amid a series of off-field episodes involving England players over the past year.The most serious involved Test vice-captain Harry Brook, who was punched by a nightclub bouncer in Wellington in the early hours of November 1 last year, shortly before he was due to lead England in an ODI against New Zealand.During the Ashes, a mid-series break in Noosa also drew attention to the players’ drinking.More recently, Stokes and Gus Atkinson stayed out beyond England’s new midnight curfew after the first Test against New Zealand this summer. Both were stood down for the following Test at The Oval as part of a disciplinary process.Stokes retired from Test cricket at the end of that series and was replaced as captain by Joe Root, who had previously led England from 2017 to 2022.One of Root’s first decisions after returning to the role was to remove the curfew and tell his players to “be adults”.
