SportsRoot ‘hacked off’ with England after police handcuff Carse

England captain Joe Root says he is deeply frustrated that Brydon Carse’s removal from the squad for the second Test against Pakistan has overshadowed the team’s cricket. Carse was referred to the Cricket Regulator after videos appeared to show police handcuffing him outside a Derby nightclub. Root criticised repeated off-field “stupid mistakes” but rejected bringing back a curfew, favouring a lasting, player-led culture change.
