Harry Brook says Brydon Carse needs time away from international cricket amid investigation

England white-ball captain Harry Brook expressed hope that bowler Brydon Carse will return to the team once he is cleared from ongoing disciplinary proceedings. Carse, who was involved in a late-night incident in Derby and is still under investigation by cricket authorities, has not been selected since then despite police dropping criminal charges. Brook described Carse as a good friend who is working on personal matters away from the international scene. England are currently missing several players due to injury and other issues, with a focus on building a strong team for the upcoming 50-over World Cup in southern Africa. Brook highlighted the team's confidence following a recent T20 series win against Sri Lanka and the ongoing push for higher professionalism and preparation on and off the field.
