England named a 15-man squad for the third Test at Edgbaston without Carse, with Sonny Baker keeping the place he took for the second Test, per Sky Sports on 3 September 2026.
Resolves on ecb.co.uk. YES if Brydon Carse appears in the England men's squad for the third Rothesay Test as published on ecb.co.uk at any point up to the scheduled start of play on 9 September 2026, including as a late addition. A withdrawal for injury after being named still resolves YES; non-selection resolves NO. If that source has not published in time, Sky Sports and BBC Sport settle it.
We looked at every time since 2017 that the ECB, as the players' employer, took a player out of an England or England Lions squad while an inquiry into his conduct was still open. The inquiry could be the ECB's own, the Cricket Discipline Commission's, the Cricket Regulator's or the police's. Injuries, rest, normal selection and bans after a finished process are left out. We asked whether the player played for England, or the Lions, within four weeks. We found eight cases. Two pairs, Stokes and Hales in 2017 and Stokes and Atkinson in 2026, were single decisions.
