It is understood he was not arrested, though the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has referred the incident to the Cricket Regulator. The Regulator will investigate and, as a result, Carse has been removed from the squad and replaced by Sonny Baker. It is the latest of a string of off-field incidents involving the England team - Carse has become the third player to this summer to miss a Test because of a disciplinary issue. "Following a referral from the ECB, the Cricket Regulator have confirmed that they will investigate events on Saturday night in Derby," said an ECB statement. "Brydon Carse will no longer be available for selection for the second men's Test while this investigation is ongoing and the full facts are obtained."
Carse was part of the England squad for the first Test against Pakistan, which the hosts won by an innings inside three days at Headingley. When he was not named in the starting XI, Carse was released to play for Durham away at Derbyshire, a game the Division Two leaders won on Saturday evening. Following that win, Carse was filmed in handcuffs outside a bar in Derby. It has not been confirmed why he was detained, though he was released without charge. The incident occurred less than 48 hours before Carse was scheduled to arrive in London to join up with the rest of the England squad for the second Test at Lord's.
