Harry Brook backs Brydon Carse for future England return
The England batter believes his teammate will regain his spot in the white-ball setup once he addresses current off-field matters.
A period of transition
England batter Harry Brook has expressed confidence in Brydon Carse, suggesting that the fast bowler has a clear path back to international cricket. Carse, who has been sidelined from selection recently, is currently utilizing this interval to refine his game away from the pressure of the England white-ball environment.
Addressing recent challenges
The 31-year-old pacer was involved in a late-night incident in Derby last month which resulted in a brief period in handcuffs. Although authorities have since confirmed that Carse will not face any criminal charges, he has remained absent from England's recent match-day squads. Brook, who maintains a close friendship with the bowler, noted that his teammate is actively occupied with personal and professional adjustments behind the scenes.
Looking toward the future
While Carse is technically eligible for selection, the decision to keep him out of the current rotation allows him the necessary space to refocus. With the next major global tournament approaching in a year’s time, England’s coaching staff and his teammates appear keen to see him recover his rhythm. Brook emphasized that time away from the intense demands of the international schedule is a necessary step for Carse to return to his best form and eventually rejoin the England bowling attack.
