England open door for Carse with Lions squad selection
Summarised from 2 outlets · 3 reports · Updated 9 Nov, 12:44 · Archive
England have named pace bowler Brydon Carse in the Lions squad for the South Africa tour, potentially allowing his return to Test cricket. Carse could come into the Test squad as cover for Josh Tongue, who will miss the opening Test on 17 December due to the birth of his second child.
Carse has not been part of any England squad since being handcuffed outside a nightclub in Derby in August. Although Derbyshire Police ended their investigation into an alleged assault, the Cricket Regulator has charged Carse with breaching professional conduct regulations, with a verdict still to come. England previously explained his absence by citing a need for him to spend time away from international cricket.
National selector Marcus North said Carse had experienced 'a time of reflection' during the investigation period. North did not rule out drafting Lions players, including Carse, into the Test squad for the three-match series against South Africa beginning on 17 December. Uncapped Nottinghamshire spinner Liam Patterson-White has also been named in the 15-man Test squad, replacing Shoaib Bashir.
