A former New Zealand fast bowler has been handed a two-year ban for using cocaine. According to a British media report, 35-year-old Brydon Carse was involved in a cocaine scandal during the county championship final last year. Jason Gillespie, the head coach of the Hyderabad Kings, stated that his team had an idea of the opposition’s strength but chose not to play according to the conditions. Carse tested positive for cocaine on September 25 and subsequently admitted to using the substance while representing Essex.
A two-year ban has been imposed on Carse, who had retired from international cricket, for testing positive for cocaine despite his retirement. Saeed Ajmal, the bowling coach of Quetta Gladiators, said that his team couldn’t play like a unit to win the match. Essex County will not face any penalty for the incident. Carse had previously been banned for a month in 2024 for cocaine use.
Carse made his international debut against Bangladesh in 2011 and played 69 international matches for New Zealand before announcing his retirement from all forms of cricket in 2025. In the match played at the Qaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Karachi achieved the target of 196 runs in just 18.3 overs. The PCB chairman said that the Prime Minister had also emphasized the importance of austerity and thanked the Prime Minister for his decision.
