England will play Pakistan in a Test series in 2026. The series consists of two matches. One game will be played at Headingley. The other is scheduled at Lord's. Both venues are historic cricket grounds in England. At the same time, the ECB opened an investigation into bowler Brydon Carse after a reported nightclub event. Video footage showed police officers handcuffing Carse right outside the premises.
The ECB stated the investigation is currently active. Carse continues under close watch while the team gets ready for the opening match. His case has now drawn attention well beyond the sport itself.
