England will play Pakistan in a Test series in 2026. The series features two matches. One game is set 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 publicised nightclub event. Video footage appeared to show police officers handcuffing Carse right outside the venue.
The ECB confirmed the investigation is underway. Carse continues under close watch while the team prepares for the opening match. His case has now drawn attention well beyond the sporting world itself.
