England is set to play Pakistan in a Test series in 2026. The series has two matches. One game is taking place at Headingley. The other is scheduled at Lord's. Both venues are famous cricket grounds in England. In the background, the ECB opened an investigation into bowler Brydon Carse after a reported nightclub event. Video footage showed police officers handcuffing Carse right outside the venue.
The ECB stated the investigation is currently active. Carse continues under close watch while the team prepares for the opening match. His case has now drawn attention well beyond the game itself.
