ECB investigates Brydon Carse handcuff video

The ECB has launched an investigation after a video emerged showing England fast bowler Brydon Carse in handcuffs being led away from a nightclub in Derby on Saturday night, August 23, 2026. Carse had been released from England's Test squad for the Pakistan series to play County Championship cricket for Durham, where he scored 26 runs and took 2 for 82 in a win over Derbyshire. The incident occurred while Carse was celebrating with Durham team-mates after the match and raises further questions about England cricketers' relationship with alcohol.
