England’s fast bowler Brayden Carse is in trouble. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has started an investigation into the incident that took place in a nightclub in Derby before the second Test against Pakistan. In a video that went viral on social media, Kars was seen being led out of the club in handcuffs accompanied by four police officers. However, it is not yet clear why he was handcuffed. It is also being claimed that Ben Stokes is also with him.
It is being told that on the night of the incident, Carrs was present at the club with his Durham teammate Matthew Potts. At that time, Carse was not on duty with the England team and was to join the national team on Monday. The ECB has confirmed knowledge of the incident and said that the matter is being investigated. The board also said that after the completion of the investigation, further information will be given as per the need.
Cars detained for a while
According to reports, Kars was detained for some time, but not arrested. It is reported that he returned to the team hotel after some time. However, the real reason for handcuffing him has not been revealed yet. This matter has come to light at a time when England cricket is already in the news due to many controversies related to players.
Cars have faced action before too
Brydon Carse has faced ECB action before also. Earlier this year, he was suspended for three months for placing 303 bets on cricket matches between 2017 and 2019. However, he himself did not play in the matches on which he had placed bets. The latest incident has also reminded us of the old nightclub controversy involving Ben Stokes. During the Test series against New Zealand, Stokes and his teammates had a dispute with players of a rugby club. Later Stokes announced his retirement from international cricket at Trent Bridge.
