Domestic career
Curran represented Surrey at Under-15, Under-17, and Second XI level. During the 2014 season he represented Weybridge in the Surrey Championship Premier Division.[3] He was described by Surrey director of cricket Alec Stewart as "the best 17-year-old cricketer that I have seen".[4]
Curran made his senior debut in a Twenty20match in the NatWest t20 Blast tournament against Kent at The Oval on 19 June 2015, aged 17 years and 16 days.[5] He made his first-class debut in a County Championshipfixture against Kent at The Oval on 13 July 2015. [6] At the age of 17 years and 40 days he became Surrey's second youngest first-class cricketer in history after Tony Lock, who debuted exactly 69 years earlier at the age of 17 years and 8 days, also against Kent at The Oval. He returned figures of 5/101 in the first innings, and is believed to be the youngest-ever player to take five wickets in a County Championship match.[7] He made his List Adebut in a Royal London One-Day Cup match against Northamptonshire at The Oval on 27 July 2015.
International career
Curran represented Zimbabwe Under-13s at the 2011–12 CSA Under-13 Week tournament. [9]
He represented England Under-19s at the 2016 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup,[10]where he played all six games, scoring 201 runs and taking seven wickets to help his team finish sixth. He was selected for the England Lions for their 2016-17 tour of the United Arab Emirates, and again for their match against South Africa A at Canterbury in the 2017 season.
Curran received his first senior call-up for England in January 2018 for the 2017-18 Trans-Tasman Tri-Series against Australia and New Zealand,[11] but did not play any games.
On 30 May 2018 he was added to England's Test squad, ahead of the second Test against Pakistan, as cover for Ben Stokes who had injured a hamstring in training.[12] Stokes failed a fitness test on the morning of the game, so Curran made his Test debut on 1 June.[13] He took his first Test wicket by dismissing Shadab Khan, who was caught by Keaton Jennings.[14]
On 24 June 2018, he made his One Day International (ODI) debut against Australia.http://zipansion.com/2PoBd
