ENG vs PAK, 2nd Test: England Drops Carse After Investigation Into Club Incident; Baker Named Replacement

The England and Wales Cricket Board said Brydon Carse will miss the second Test while the Cricket Regulator investigates a nightclub incident.

  • On Monday, the England and Wales Cricket Board dropped fast bowler Brydon Carse from the second Test squad against Pakistan following a nightclub incident in Derby on Saturday night, replacing him with Hampshire pacer Sonny Baker.
  • This incident marks the third time this year an England cricketer has been removed from a squad due to off-field conduct, with previous investigations this summer involving Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson.
  • Former England captain Michael Vaughan called for a "significant punishment" to deter future misconduct, noting the Cricket Regulator confirmed an investigation after footage showed the 31-year-old Carse handcuffed outside a venue on Saturday.
  • England Test captain Joe Root recently scrapped team curfews, urging players to act as "really good role models and human beings," while the squad maintains a 1-0 series lead against Pakistan.
  • The squad seeks a series victory at Lord's on Thursday while Carse remains unavailable for selection as the Cricket Regulator gathers facts regarding the incident.
