England's white-ball captain Harry Brook says that pacer Brydon Carse, who was recently involved in an off-field incident, needs time away from international cricket. Brook's comments came at a press conference on the eve of the first ODI against Sri Lanka, which is scheduled for Tuesday (Sep 22) at Chester-le-Street. England players have been going through off-field disciplinary issues for quite some time, with Brook himself being involved in an incident where he was punched by a nightclub bouncer in New Zealand last year. Brook, however, has not closed the door on Carse's selection in the England team for the future.
Brook shares thoughts on Carse's England selection
Carse was dropped from the England squad for the remainder of the Test series against Pakistan after an incident in Derby following a County match. He was briefly handcuffed and then released by police. The pacer will not face criminal charges, as police closed the investigation, but he still awaits the result of an inquiry by the Cricket Regulator.
Talking about Carse's future international chances, Brook said: "He’s a very good cricketer. He’s been bowling extremely well for Durham. When his time for selection is up, that will be a debate. I’m very good mates with Carsey. I’ve spoken a lot with him. Those conversations are private. I think he just needs time away from the international scene. He’s working on a few things behind the scenes and hopefully he’ll be ready at some point in the future."

The Scandal: Why so scandalous? Ji Chang Wook leaves you gasping for air
After a 3-0 clean sweep in the T20Is, which helped them attain top ICC team rankings in the format, England now turn their focus to the 50-over format. The Three Lions are dealing with some injury issues, with Jacob Bethell and Sam Curran out of the series and Adil Rashid being doubtful.
Brook, however, remains optimistic and said: "We’ve gone undefeated in the T20s and I think we can take a hell of a lot of confidence from that going into this ODI series. It’s more of the same. As a squad and a unit, we’re trying to play a higher-octane style of cricket and we’re really trying to put them under pressure with bat and ball."
