England is scheduled to play Pakistan in a Test series in 2026. The series consists of two matches. One game will be played at Headingley. The other is scheduled at Lord's. Both venues are historic cricket grounds in England. At the same time, the ECB opened an investigation into bowler Brydon Carse after a alleged nightclub event. Video footage captured police officers handcuffing Carse right outside the location.
The ECB stated the investigation is currently active. Carse continues under close watch while the team gears up for the opening match. His case has now gained attention well beyond the game itself.
