Derbyshire Police are looking into "allegations of assault" following the incident that saw England fast bowler Brydon Carse handcuffed outside a nightclub over the weekend. Carse was dropped from the squad for the second Test against Pakistan, which begins at Lord's on Thursday, after the Cricket Regulator initiated a probe into an episode that saw the Durham paceman arrested outside a late bar in Derby -- then de-arrested after agreeing to depart.
In an updated statement issued late Wednesday, Derbyshire Police said: "We are investigating allegations of assault in Derby city centre. No arrests have yet been made and the investigation is ongoing." Further details are unknown, with no clarity over what part -- if any -- Carse had in the alleged assault, with the England and Wales Cricket Board yet to comment publicly on the latest developments.
