England cricketer Carse under investigation after 'nightclub incident'

England fast bowler Brydon Carse is under investigation after he was reportedly involved in an incident at a nightclub in Derby on Saturday, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has confirmed.

Videos on social media on Sunday appeared to show Carse in handcuffs, being led away from a club by four police officers.

The Durham paceman, who is in England's squad for the second Test against Pakistan, was seen with team-mate Matthew Potts.

"We are aware of an incident which is reported to have taken place in Derby last night, and are currently investigating," the ECB said in a statement issued on Sunday.

"We will provide a further update when possible."

Both Carse, who has appeared in 14 Tests, and Potts played in the Durham side that thrashed Derbyshire by 338 runs in a second division County Championship match at Derby.

Carse, 31, was included in England's squad for the first two Tests of a three-match campaign against Pakistan, but was not in the side as the hosts enjoyed a crushing innings and 103-run win inside three days in this week's series opener at Headingley.

The second Test at Lord's starts on Thursday.
