‘My heart sunk': England pacer Brydon Carse opens up on his gambling ban, credits Ben Stokes for reviving international career
England pacer Brydon Carse has had his breakthrough Test season ever since making his debut in October 2024, months after being banned for three months for breaching England and Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) gambling regulations in the past. Carse, who will turn 30 on July 31, after making his fourth straight Test appearance in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, credited his skipper Ben Stokes for helping him through the rough back into the spotlight in the national set-up. Carse's international career was hampered by the three-month ban after he was deemed to have placed 303 bets on matches that he wasn't a part of between 2017 and 2019. 'There's no denying that when all of that stuff surfaced, I was actually on my way down to play a game for Durham at Warwickshire, and yeah, my heart sunk, trying to piece together what had happened six, seven years ago,' Carse told Michael Atherton in a chat on Sky Sports. 'But I think that whole process that I went through and the support that I had from Durham and from England, and the lessons that I learned. I'm a firm believer that everything does happen for a reason, and I've often said that. 'It's something I obviously deeply regret now. But I think it's something that going forward in my playing career and away from cricket in my personal life, it certainly, I feel, will make me stronger in certain situations that I come across.' Sharing the Durham county, the South Africa-born Carse revealed how the relationship with Stokes has benefitted him over the years. 'He's (Stokes) certainly been pivotal in everything that I've gone about on the field and off the field, and someone that I respect and someone that I'm very thankful for the relationship and friendship that I have with him,' Carse added. 'Ben has been someone who I've constantly had a relationship with from a young age and have spoken to him about many things. 'He was one of the first people who I did pick the phone up and ring. He was brilliant. 'The following morning, we caught up for a coffee and we had a great chat. He was very honest with me and gave me his advice, which I naturally took straight away.' Having picked up nine wickets in the series, Carse has been Stokes' steady pace hand against India since last month. Carse also slammed his maiden Test fifty in the second-innings of the Lord's Test that England went onto win by only 22 runs.

Mohammed Siraj gives uncomfortable reply when asked about India's boycott of WCL match against Pakistan
The pull-out of Shikhar Dhawan, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan and Yusuf Pathan, which led to the cancellation of the India vs Pakistan match on Sunday at the World Champions of Legends (WC 2025), added a new flavour to cricket in the UK. Different Indian teams -- the men's, the women's and the U19 boys' team -- are currently in England, competing in different formats. The stars of yesteryears also joined the fun, but before the party could begin, it crashed as the former Indian cricketers boycotted the match against Pakistan. The cancellation led to a lot of speculation, which reached the current Indian team in Manchester. India's Mohammed Siraj addresses a press conference(PTI) Fast bowler Mohammed Siraj got uncomfortable and slightly disturbed when he was asked about the WCL India vs Pakistan cancelled match in a press conference in the lead-up to the fourth Test against England. "I don't know" was Siraj's first reply to the reporter who asked about WCL. The reporter, however, did not take the cue. He added another question. This time about Siraj's opinion on playing against Pakistan at the international stage. Siraj repeated the same answer: "I don't know what to say." What transpired between India and Pakistan in the first week of May in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror on April 22 has left a deep scar on the sporting relations of the two countries. As cricket remains the most followed sport in both India and Pakistan, any form of engagement in the sport has met with severe criticism. Yuvraj, Harbhajan, the Pathan brothers, and Dhawan have been subjected to heavy criticism ever since the WCL fixtures were announced. The former cricketers then decided to withdraw from the match against Pakistan. However, apart from Dhawan, none of them came up with an official statement. The WCL organisers apologised and added that they had no intention of hurting the sentiments of the Indian fans. The tournament sponsors, EaseMyTrip, which has a five-year deal with WCL, decided to boycott Pakistan's matches. Siraj: India's workhorse in England Mohammed Siraj has shouldered the heaviest workload in the ongoing Test series against England, but the Indian pacer isn't too concerned about the growing conversations around workload management. The 31-year-old has featured in every match so far and is eager to play all five Tests if given the chance. Siraj has already bowled 109 overs across the series — the most by any Indian pacer. Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested for the second Test due to workload concerns, has bowled 86.4 overs. Prasidh Krishna and Akash Deep have bowled 62 and 72.1 overs respectively in two games each. 'Thank God I've been fit and healthy so far,' Siraj said. 'Yes, workload is part of modern cricket and the data will always show how many overs I've bowled, but I try not to think too much about it. My focus is on making the most of the opportunity and winning matches for India.' Siraj has taken 13 wickets in the series so far, including a standout six-wicket haul at Edgbaston.
