‘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.

'That incident revved up the group': Gill-Crawley spat sparked team meeting and shift in England's attitude, reveals Carse
Shubman Gill's aggressive reaction to Zak Crawley's time-wasting tactics led to an England team meeting, where the home side decided to adopt a more combative on-field approach, Brydon Carse revealed as they won the Lord's Test from a losing position. read more As per Brydon Carse, the Gill-Crawley spat was the trigger that sparked England's comeback in Lord's Test. Images: Reuters England fast bowler Brydon Carse has revealed a secret team meeting was called after Day 4 of the Lord's Test against India in which the players and management decided to adopt a change in their on-field behaviour. Carse says the meeting was called after India, under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, started to get aggressive with their mental games and on-field behaviour. The first major on-field incident of the ongoing five-match Test series between India and Ben Stokes-led England took place on Day 3 of the third match at Lord's when Gill got into an argument with English opener Zak Crawley over time wasting. On Day 4, Siraj gave an aggressive send-off to Duckett, for which he was later fined by the ICC, and India were also seen using time-wasting tactics towards the end. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD England meeting sparks better performance In an exclusive interview with Mail Sport, Carse has revealed that the whole English team had a meeting after the end of the fourth day's play, where it was decided that they needed to put on a more aggressive tone on the field and it was the Gill vs Crawley incident that had sparked the change. 'That incident at the end of day three probably revved up the whole group, and we had that discussion at the end of day four,' Carse told Mail Sport. 'And I think the common thing was that sometimes, as an English cricket team, we can come across a little bit too nice, whereas the opposition are very quick to get stuck into us. 'So it was just brilliant that the whole team bought into that. We want to be aggressive and give it a good crack. We want to play the game in the right spirit, but still be up for a bit of a fight and a challenge.

'When you're out on that field and you've got 10 other blokes all fighting your corner, I'm definitely one that won't shy away from something like that. It certainly gets your beans going and your emotions going, but it's also important in those situations to control it.'

It was 11 versus 2: Harry Brook on England's combative approach at Lord's Test
Tensions escalated between India and England in the third Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Lord's last week. The confrontational atmosphere kicked off after a heated exchange between India skipper Shubman Gill and England opener Zak Crawley in the final moments of the third day, and stayed in the air throughout the final two days of England's thrilling 22-run victory, which allowed them to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. Ahead of the fourth Test at Old Trafford, England batter Harry Brook said that the several different flashpoints and the combative mood within the camp allowed the team to put the opposition under more pressure and added an element of 'good fun' to the hosts' fielding efforts. 'We had a little chat and we thought, we're a team so we may as well get together and give it back at them,' Brook said at a press conference in Manchester on Monday. 'It put them under a little bit more pressure.' 'I've had a lot of compliments. Everybody said it was awesome to watch. It looked like it was 11 versus two out there while we were fielding. It was good fun… it was tiring but it made fielding a lot more enjoyable,' Brook added. Brook would add that both teams fighting hard is what has made the series entertaining thus far. 'India are such a good side, they can bounce back at any stage… every game we've played so far has gone into the last hour of the game, which you don't see very often,' he said. 'I've had a lot of people come up to me and say, this is a great series… and everybody said that the Lord's game was one of the best that they have ever watched.' The tensions went up a notch after Gill was sarcastically clapping at Crawley over what he felt were intentional delays at the end of the third day. Brook, as well as fast bowler Brydon Carse, would claim that was the moment when England decided to 'give it back' to the hosts. 'We had a conversation on the evening of day three, when the Indian side was getting stuck into our two batters,' Carse told ESPNCricinfo. 'That shifted the mentality and the mood of our whole group, that we were going to be right up for this and get stuck in.' And there were other moments where things came to a head too, from Mohammed Siraj's angry reaction after taking Ben Duckett's wicket on Day 4 to Carse himself colliding with Ravindra Jadeja – who was mounting a late comeback – while running between the wickets late on the fifth day. Carse believes England needed the added fire to come out on top. 'When you (are) playing Test cricket, with the crowd and the pressure and the emotion, and how much everyone wanted to win that game, I think it's great,' he said. 'There's always obviously a line, and you don't want to cross that line. But when you're out on that field, and there's 10 other blokes all fighting your corner, it's pretty cool. And it's what the game needed at that time.' Carse was particularly proud of his late burst on day four, when he picked up the wickets of both Karun Nair and Gill to put India under pressure which eventually proved vital. 'The atmosphere was incredible, the adrenaline was flowing. It was an incredibly crucial stage of the game that I was desperate to make an impact in, and I felt in good rhythm bowling that evening,' he said.

Brydon Carse Reveals Lord's Emotions: 'Harry Brook Said Its His Best Test Win'
Last Updated: Brydon Carse described the emotional rollercoaster during England's 22-run win over India at Lord's, securing a 2-1 lead in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series. England's Brydon Carse described the emotional rollercoaster he experienced during England's 22-run victory over India in the Lord's Test. This win secured a 2-1 lead for the home team in the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series. At Lord's, after scores were levelled in the first innings, England set India a target of 193. Despite a determined lower-order fightback led by Ravindra Jadeja's unbeaten 61 – his fourth consecutive fifty in the format – India fell agonisingly short, bowled out for 170, granting England a thrilling victory. 'You wanted to fall to your knees, almost. It was unbelievable, after all the hard work that the group put in over those five days. It was the best game that I've been involved in with England. And, from speaking to the guys who've played a lot of franchise cricket and Tests, like Harry Brook, who I get on really well with, he was saying that's his best Test win. So to hear that among the group, and to share those thoughts after the game, was a special feeling. 'Once we got off that field and walked through the Long Room, it was an incredible atmosphere … really loud. A couple of the guys who had played in the Ashes said that's the loudest they've ever heard the Long Room. It was a pretty special week," said Carse at an event. On the final day, Jadeja was at his gritty best, scoring his fourth successive fifty in Tests. But his valiant effort was in vain as India lost by 22 runs at Lord's, leaving them 2-1 behind in the five-match series against England. Carse played a crucial role, claiming the wickets of Karun Nair and Shubman Gill late on Day 4, and also contributing with a half-century in the first innings. Carse believes the Lord's win demonstrates England's ability to adapt and move forward. 'To be able to pick up a couple of wickets in that spell and put the momentum back into our hands going into day five was incredibly satisfying. At times, over the course of the series so far, I feel like I've been bowling well and maybe haven't had as much luck as I would have liked, but that was certainly satisfying for me. 'It was not the typical style of cricket that we would like to play, and it took some adjustment, but it shows this side can move forward and adapt to certain situations," said Carse. view comments First Published: July 21, 2025, 19:30 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

We showed we arent one-minded in our approach: Carse on Lords victory
Manchester, Jul 21 (PTI) England's 22-run victory against India at Lord's was a shining example of the team's ability to break free from their one-dimensional aggressive brand of cricket and adapt as per the need of the hour, pacer Brydon Carse said ahead of fourth Test starting here on Wednesday. Carse also played his part with a couple of wickets in England's successful defence of 193-run victory target, which included a sharp in-dipper to get rid of Karun Nair. 'It was not the typical style of cricket that we would like to play, and it took some adjustment, but it shows this side can move forward and adapt to certain situations," Carse was quoted as saying by ESPN Cricinfo. 'We spoke a lot at the start of the series about how to get to that next level, about being a dominant Test team and the best Test team in the world. And as this game panned out, we showed that it's not always going to be one-minded or a certain style of cricket. So, it was very satisfying as a group," said the soon-to-be 30 speedster, who has so far taken nine wickets in the series. He was happy to have contributed in his team's cause. 'At times, over the course of the series so far, I feel like I've been bowling well and maybe haven't had as much luck as I would have liked, but that was certainly satisfying for me." Carse hailed the collective effort from the bowling unit on a slow deck where one needed to show a lot of perseverance. 'It was a complete collective effort from all the bowlers," he said, with England pounding through nearly 200 overs on a slow Lord's surface that offered little once the hardness of the new ball had worn off. 'At times in that first innings, it was an incredibly long slog. But we kept coming and we kept on trying different plans. And, even in that second innings, all five bowlers contributed at certain times, so it felt really satisfying as a group of bowlers." Carse called the Lord's Test easily the best game of his life. 'It was the best game that I've been involved in with England. And, from speaking to the guys who've played a lot of franchise cricket and Tests, like Harry Brook, who I get on really well with, he was saying that's his best Test win. So to hear that among the group, and to share those thoughts after the game, was a special feeling." 'Once we got off that field and walked through the Long Room, it was an incredible atmosphere… really loud. A couple of the guys who had played in the Ashes said that's the loudest they've ever heard the Long Room. It was a pretty special week."
