The 28-year-old, who was selected for the World Cup team six months prior, received a 16-month ban, of which 13 months were suspended, after the Cricket Regulator opened an anti-corruption probe.
Carse, who in October agreed to a central contract with England, acknowledged that he had wagered 303 times on different cricket events between 2017 and 2019, although not on matches that he was participating in.
He will not be subject to any further sanctions as long as he does not commit any further anti-corruption violations for the following two years, but he will be immediately suspended from participating in any cricket matches until August 28.
Carse released a statement saying, “Even though these bets were placed years ago, that is no justification and I accept full responsibility for my actions.”
“I want to express my gratitude to Durham, the Professional Cricketers’ Association, and the ECB for their assistance at this trying period for me.
It was also stated there was no evidence to suggest any wider integrity concerns from Carse’s actions.
The Cricket Regulator’s interim director Dave Lewis said: “The Cricket Regulator takes any breach of integrity or misconduct rules seriously and I would encourage any participant, from within the professional game, who has gambled on cricket to come forward and not wait to be discovered.
“We also encourage any participant struggling with any welfare concerns to seek assistance from the PCA or other trusted professional source.”
Durham are supporting Brydon, who will still be allowed to train with the team but whose ban rules him out of any chance of receiving a call-up to England’s Test team this year.
An ECB spokesperson said: “We take these matters extremely seriously and do not condone any form of anti-corruption breach in cricket.
“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.”
