Joe Root has expressed frustration after England's winning return as Test captain was overshadowed by an off-field incident involving fast bowler Brydon Carse. Carse was dropped for the second Test against Pakistan and referred to the Cricket Regulator following the appearance of social media videos detailing the incident.
The latest disciplinary issue revives ongoing scrutiny surrounding English cricket's off-field conduct and drinking culture. It follows previous warnings and remarks made earlier in the summer by then-captain Ben Stokes following a test match at Lord's regarding player behavior.
