Brydon Carse was not selected in England's squad for the first Test match played against Pakistan at Headingley.

Although he was made a part of the England team for the second Test against Pakistan at Lord's, but now after the controversy, he has been dropped from the second Test. After the video was released, an ECB spokesperson said, “We have become aware of an incident that happened last night in the derby and we are currently investigating. We will provide further information as soon as possible.” Now he has been thrown out.
