English bowler selected for Pakistan series detained by police outside nightclub

England fast bowler Brydon Carras, who is part of the squad for the Test series against Pakistan, was detained by police. However, he was released without charge after questioning.

According to British media, the incident took place outside a nightclub where police arrested Carras. Later, when a video of the fast bowler in handcuffs emerged, the England and Wales Cricket Board immediately launched an investigation.

The incident came to light when the England team defeated Derbyshire in a three-day County Championship match in Durham. Matthew Potts and Ben Stokes are also seen in the viral video.

The board issued a statement saying that they have received information about the incident in Derby last night and that an investigation is underway. More details will be revealed as soon as possible.

According to media reports, the police released Brydon Carras after completing the questioning and no charges have been filed against him.

Interestingly, the incident came after England's new captain Joe Root said he wanted his players to be good role models.

Ben Stokes had said in a podcast a few weeks ago that the drinking culture in cricket still exists. He said that in 2026, the game has become quite professional, but its old relationship with alcohol still exists. This trend starts from club cricket and continues to the highest level.

Brydon Carse is in the squad for the second Test against Pakistan but was not given a chance in the first Test.
