England pacer Brydon Carse has been served a 16-month ban, of which 13 months are suspended for two years. He will now be eligible to play from August 28, 2024. "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," said a statement from Cricket Regulator, an independent regulatory body, which further proposed the sanction to be placed. "Carse will be suspended from playing in any cricket between 28 May 2024 and 28 August 2024. Provided Carse does not commit any further offences contrary to the anti-corruption rules over the next two years. he will not face any further penalties. There was no evidence to suggest any wider integrity concerns from Carse's actions," said their statement which was endorsed by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). "We take these matters extremely seriously and do not condone any form of anti-corruption breach in cricket," said the ECB in a statement and added, "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." Carse made his first-class debut in 2016 for Durham. He made his maiden international appearance for England in an ODI in 2021 and his last appearance came in December 2023. He has played 14 ODIs and 3 T20Is
