Brydon Carse has expressed gratitude to England’s management for maintaining their trust in him following his return to international cricket after serving a three-month gambling ban.

Earlier this year, Carse was handed a 16-month suspension from the sport, with 13 months suspended, after it was revealed that he had placed over 300 bets on cricket matches between 2017 and 2019. Although there were no allegations or evidence of match-fixing, the bets—including some on Durham matches in which he wasn’t playing—were a serious violation of cricket’s regulations.

At the start of the season, Carse was on the verge of securing a regular spot in England's squad and had earned a two-year central contract as one of 15 players selected. His swift recall to the national team following the ban underscores the confidence England continues to place in the 29-year-old.

"They've been incredibly supportive over the last period of time," Carse said. "It's been brilliant [to be back playing]. The last three weeks have been very pleasing for me to be back playing. A couple of weeks ago I was back with Durham and now I've joined the England set-up and all I've had from everyone is full backing and full support. I'm just looking forward to playing as much cricket in an England shirt as possible going forward.

"Rob Key's been very communicative with me and everyone around the support structure has given me everything that I've needed to, to get back playing."

"I'm making sure I bowl enough overs in training to keep my loads up," Carse said of his preparations for the upcoming Test tour. "But the way the schedule is now, I'm fully focused on white-ball and the adjustments will be done in Pakistan when I land on October 2.

"The mantra that England are trying to play their Test cricket is probably shifting, and they're trying to play a couple of bowlers that can bowl with extra pace. So if you're asking what my role is going to be in Pakistan, it's going be short, sharp bursts and to get the ball to reverse."
