A video is becoming increasingly viral on social media, in which England fast bowler Brayden Carse is seen in handcuffs outside a nightclub. His England teammate Matthew Potts and former captain Ben Stokes are also seen in the video.
However, it is not clear why this incident happened or why Kars was handcuffed. The 31-year-old Carse was not selected for England's first Test against Pakistan at Headingley and was given permission by the ECB to play for Durham in the County Championship. He remains a part of the England team for the second Test to be held at Lord's, which will start from Thursday. An ECB spokesperson said, “We have become aware of an incident that occurred in Derby last night and we are currently investigating. We will provide further information as soon as possible.”

Let us tell you, 29-year-old Brydon Carse was among the leading fast bowlers of England in the Ashes series. After not getting a place in the playing-11 of the first Test played against Pakistan at Headingley, he was released to play county cricket. After this, playing for Durham, he took 2 wickets in the victory, while Ben Stokes bowled brilliantly and took 5 wickets.
Ben Stokes' nightclub controversy
Ben Stokes came into the limelight in June this year due to the nightclub controversy that broke out after England's victory in the first Test against New Zealand. Stokes and fast bowler Gus Atkinson were present at a London nightclub late at night, where the team's midnight curfew was violated and a separate clash later occurred. The ECB investigated the matter and ruled both of them out of the second Test against New Zealand. He was later given a written warning, while the investigation found Stokes not guilty of the violent incident.
