Durham County Cricket Club: Cricket Regulator, an independent body established to look into anti-discrimination, anti-corruption, anti-doping, misconduct, and safeguarding, has found England's pacer Brydon Carse guilty of corruption as he bet on cricket matches. Surprisingly, the body formed in 2023, suspended Carse from all cricket for 16 months with 13 months of that ban suspended for two years, claiming that there were mitigating factors that compelled it to do so.

Carse was charged with placing 303 bets on various cricket matches between 2017 and 2019. Carse did not place bets on games in which he was participating. Cricket’s betting integrity rules mean that no professional participant (player, coach, or other support staff) is permitted to bet on any cricket anywhere in the world. Thus, Cricket Regulator launched an investigation against him, the report of which was released on Friday.

The 28-year-old Carse is a South Africa-born English cricketer, who represents Durham County Cricket Club at the domestic level and has played 14 ODIs and three T20Is as a right-hand pacer.
