Brydon Carse will not face any charges after Derbyshire Police closed their investigation into an alleged assault following an incident involving the England cricketer at a nightclub in Derby.
Last month, Carse was handcuffed outside a nightclub in Derby and missed the second and third Tests of England's series against Pakistan.
The 31-year-old was celebrating with Durham players after their win at Derbyshire in the County Championship and was also seen talking to team-mate Matthew Potts with former England captain Ben Stokes also pictured in the background.

Derbyshire Police said in a statement on Friday the investigation had been closed and no further action would be taken.
Since making his international Test debut in October 2024, Carse has been England's wicket taker with 58 wickets to his name, including 22 in last winter's Ashes.
While he was omitted from the England squad during the Pakistan series, he continued to play for Durham during the Derbyshire Police investigation in the County Championship.
