England cricketer Brydon Carse has been handed a three-month ban from all forms of cricket after being found guilty of breaching betting regulations. Carse placed as many as 303 bets on various cricket matches between 2017 and 2019 and after accepting the charges, he was banned for 16 months with 13 months suspended.
The 28-year-old allrounder who represents Durham in domestic cricket though didn’t place any bets on the matches he was part of.
Carse was called up as an injury replacement in England’s ODI World Cup squad in India last year. He was found guilty of the breach after an anti-corruption investigation by the English game’s Cricket Regulator.

Carse, who was born in South Africa, has played 14 ODIs and three T20Is for England so far since making his international debut in July 2021. He won’t be able to take part in any cricket till August 28.
“Whilst these bets were several years ago, that is no excuse and I take full responsibility for my actions,” Carse said in a statement on Durham’s website.
“I would like to thank the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board), Durham Cricket and the PCA (England’s Professional Cricketers’ Association) for their support during this difficult time for me. I will be working hard in the next 12 weeks to ensure that I repay that support on the field when I am able to return to playing,” he added.
England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said in a statement that Carse cooperated and showed remorse for his actions.
“We take these matters extremely seriously and do not condone any form of anti-corruption breach in cricket,” an ECB spokesperson said.
“We support the Cricket Regulator’s decision and their consideration of the mitigating factors in Brydon’s case. He has co-operated and shown remorse for his actions. We are satisfied that Brydon has shown growth in the five years since this breach and has demonstrated a greater understanding of his responsibilities. We are hopeful that his case can serve as an educational example for other cricketers.”
