England pacer Brydon Carse has been handed a 16-month ban, with 13 months suspended for two years, making him eligible to play from August 28, 2024.
“Carse was charged with placing 303 bets on various cricket matches between 2017 and 2019.
However, he did not place bets on games in which he was participating,” stated the Cricket Regulator, an independent regulatory body that proposed the sanction.
“Carse will be suspended from playing cricket from May 28, 2024, to August 28, 2024.
Provided he 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,” the statement added, with endorsement from 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,” the ECB stated.
“We support the Cricket Regulator’s decision and their consideration of the mitigating factors in Brydon’s case.
He has cooperated 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 international debut for England in an ODI in 2021, with his last appearance in December 2023.
He has played 14 ODIs and 3 T20Is.
