England bowler Brydon Carse was suspended from all cricket for three months on Friday, May 31. Between 2017 and 2019, he wagered on cricket.
Carse violated gambling laws. The ban rules out the right-arm speedster for the Test against the West Indies later this year. Following James Anderson’s retirement after the first Test at Lord’s, he was in contention for his first Test cap.
Apparently, Carse didn’t wager on his matches. Over five years ago, he bet cricket. Between 2017 and 2019, the 28-year-old placed 303 wagers on matches. A two-year suspended, 13-month ban was also imposed. From May 28 to August 28, 2024, Carse will be banned and able to play.
ECB released a statement supporting the Cricket Regulator’s ban on the brilliant seamer. The board was pleased with Carse’s five-year growth.
We are really concerned and do not tolerate cricket anti-corruption violations. We agree with the Cricket Regulator’s assessment of Brydon’s mitigating considerations. He apologised and cooperated. In the five years following this break, Brydon has grown and understood his responsibilities better. The statement hoped his case will teach other cricketers.
Brydon Carse’s stance
Carse helped the Cricket Regulator investigate corruption. He apologised and thanked ECB, Durham Cricket, and the PCA for their support during this tough time in his cricket career.
I accept full responsibility for my conduct, even though these bets occurred years ago. Thanks to the ECB, Durham Cricket, and PCA for their assistance throughout my trying time. “I will work hard in the next 12 weeks to repay that support on the pitch when I can play again,” Port Elizabeth-born stated.
In 14 ODIs and three T20Is for England, Carse has taken 15 and four wickets.
