· Sports · Indian Express, NDTV Sports
The England Cricket Board has dropped pacer Brydon Carse from the squad for the second Test against Pakistan at Lord's after he was handcuffed by Durham police outside a club in Derby. This incident marks the third time this year an England cricketer has been removed from the squad due to off-field conduct. Former England captain Michael Atherton criticized the behavior, noting that while sportsmen should not be held to higher standards than others, they do carry a public profile that necessitates greater responsibility.

Carse remains under investigation following the weekend incident.
