England cricketer Brydon Carse is under investigation following an incident at a nightclub where he appeared to be handcuffed by police.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said the investigation is underway following an incident in Derby on Saturday night.
The Durham fast bowler is in England’s squad to face Pakistan in the second Test of their series at Lord’s this week.
Former England Test captain Ben Stokes, who is Carse’s team-mate at Durham, is also seen towards the back of the video.
His England and Durham team-mate Matthew Potts can also be seen talking to Carse while he is surrounded by four police officers.
“We are aware of an incident which is reported to have taken place in Derby last night, and are currently investigating,” an ECB statement said on Sunday.
“We will provide a further update when possible.”
It has been reported that Carse was not arrested and was released without charge. It is unknown what cause Carse to be detained by the police officers.
English cricket has been embroiled by several late-night incidents around bars and clubs over the last year.
Harry Brook was reportedly involved in a scuffle with a nightclub bouncer in Wellington the night before England played a ODI against New Zealand last October.
England’s Ashes Tour featured allegations of a “stag do” culture during their mid-series break in Noosa, where Ben Duckett was filmed seemingly intoxicated after hours.
Stokes and Gus Atkinson were then alleged to have broken curfew after the first Test against New Zealand this summer and were stood down from the second Test.
Joe Root, who has replaced Stokes as England captain following his retirement, subsequently abandoned England’s midnight curfew.
He told his England team-mates to “be adults, look after yourselves, look after each other”.
Carse has not played for England since the Ashes due to injury but could involved in the second Test against Pakistan this week.
The 31-year-old was an unused member of the squad as England wrapped up victory in the first Test against Pakistan in three days.
On Saturday, Carse was out celebrating Durham’s crushing Division Two victory over Derbyshire in the County Championship.
Carse took two wickets with Stokes starring with bat and ball in a 338-run win at Derbyshire with a day to spare. Potts finished with five for 46.
Durham have refused to comment on the incident, citing the ECB investigation.
