England's skipper Joe Root said that he is extremely annoyed with his teammate Brydon Carse's bar incident. The skipper also said that he was concerned about his teammate as a person after he learnt about his arrest.
"If I'm being brutally honest, I'm really hacked off. I'm really disappointed that after last week's performance, we sat here and we're talking about something nothing related to it at all. In terms of the incident itself, it's obviously with the Regulator. There's not a lot I can say on it. It's in their hands now. I've spoken to Brydon. When I first found out, my first concern was him as a person, as someone I've spent a lot of time with [and who has] been involved in this dressing-room," he said as quoted by Cricinfo.
