Carse handed England Lions spot months after nightclub incident
Brydon Carse is back in an England shirt — sort of. The 31-year-old fast bowler, stood down in August after an incident outside a nightclub, has been named in the England Lions squad to tour South Africa, and British media say a senior recall could follow.

Carse hasn't bowled for England since January, and the ECB charged him last month with breaching its professional conduct regulations over the Derby incident. His punishment still hasn't been announced. The Lions call-up puts him on the plane to South Africa next month alongside the senior Test squad.
British media report Carse could slot straight into the senior side for the first Test in Johannesburg. Josh Tongue is set to miss that match because his second child is due.
Nottinghamshire all-rounder Liam Patterson-White gets his first Test call-up for the three-match series. Selector Marcus North credited his county summer: Patterson-White took more wickets than any other spinner in Division One of the County Championship.
Jacob Bethell is also in the squad and hoping to play his first Test since June after recovering from a knee injury. Joe Root captains a group that includes Jofra Archer, Harry Brook, Ben Duckett and Ollie Robinson.
Before any of that, England head to Australia for three one-day internationals and five Twenty20s, starting Friday.
