Root frustrated by Carse incident as England focus shifts

England Test captain Joe Root expressed deep frustration on Tuesday after fast bowler Brydon Carse was removed from the squad for the second Test against Pakistan following a late-night incident in Derby. Carse was briefly detained by police outside a nightclub in the early hours of August 23, just hours after England's victory in the first Test at Headingley. The incident has prompted an investigation by the Cricket Regulator and added to a growing list of off-field controversies involving England players. Root, who recently resumed the Test captaincy, said he was "really hacked off" that the team's focus had shifted away from cricket.
