Brydon Carse has been stood down from England’s squad for the second Test against Pakistan this week as the footage of him in police handcuffs outside a bar in Derby city centre is investigated by the sport’s disciplinary body.

Carse was filmed by a member of the public while being spoken to by police officers outside Molly Malone’s Tavern on Saturday night, as Durham celebrated victory over Derbyshire in the County Championship earlier in the day.

The 31-year-old fast bowler is said to have been in handcuffs for “a few minutes” but was not arrested or charged. The former England captain, Ben Stokes, can be seen in the background of the footage shared on social media, while fast bowler Matthew Potts is seen speaking to security staff and police.

Though not officially on England duty – he had been released from the squad for the first Test in Leeds – Carse is a centrally-contracted player and now the matter is being looked into by the Cricket Regulator regarding a possible disrepute charge.

In the meantime, and in light of a string of late night drink-related incidents that have plagued the England men’s team over the past nine months, Carse has been dropped from the Test squad. Though part of the winter’s Ashes tour – England’s leading wicket-taker no less – Carse was not expected to play.

A statement from the England and Wales Cricket Board on Monday read: “Following a referral from the ECB, the Cricket Regulator have confirmed that they will investigate events on Saturday night in Derby. Brydon Carse will no longer be available for selection for the Second Men’s Rothesay Test Match while this investigation is ongoing and the full facts are obtained. Brydon will be replaced in the squad for this match by Sonny Baker.”

According to sources, the footage taken of Carse came after he was denied re-entry to the bar. He is understood to have earlier had “an exchange of words” with another member of the public inside regarding a spilled drink. Durham, though not his direct employers, are not believed to be pursuing the matter.

Carse was among a 15-man squad that was due to convene in London on Monday afternoon before the first of two training days at Lord’s ahead of the second Test that starts on Thursday. After going 1-0 up in the series, Joe Root has been presented with an early off-field headache in his second spell as captain.

Root, 35, had recently removed a team curfew that had been in place since last winter’s Ashes and a 4-1 defeat that was dogged by off-field stories regarding alcohol consumption. The Carse situation then arose just five days after Root told players to be “good human beings” in his first press conference back.

The decision to stand Carse down while the investigation takes place is in keeping with the precedent when Stokes and Gus Atkinson missed the second Test against New Zealand at the Oval in June following a late night incident in a bar in Chelsea after victory in the series opener at Lord’s.

The midnight curfew was in place on that occasion, even if it was later argued the precise details of it had not been well communicated. Atkinson was involved in a physical altercation with a Saracens rugby player – he was not the aggressor, as per the ECB – while Stokes was simply present at the same venue.

The ECB chose a different path on the eve of last winter’s Australia tour, however, when Harry Brook was punched by a nightclub bouncer on the eve of captaining a one-day international in Wellington, New Zealand. Brook was given a clandestine fine at the time, something which only came to light at the end of the Ashes.
