Brydon Carse dropped by England squad after nightclub incident

Summary

Brydon Carse has been removed from the England squad for the second Test against Pakistan following a nightclub incident in Derby where he was handcuffed by police. Carse's involvement comes under scrutiny as the England and Wales Cricket Board announced an investigation into the events that occurred after Durham's County Championship victory over Derbyshire. He has not played Test cricket for England since the Ashes and will be replaced in the squad by Sonny Baker. The incident adds to concerns around player conduct following recent alcohol-related events involving other players. The second Test is scheduled to begin on Thursday.
