Player Bio

A highly experienced professional, Tom Curran can win games with bat or ball

The right arm fast bowler, also a very capable batter, is skilful to bowl brilliantly across phases and formats. He has proven adept at adding vital lower order runs when called upon. Curran, the son of late Zimbabwe and Northamptonshire all rounder Kevin, was originally spotted playing schools cricket in South Africa by former Surrey captain Ian Greig who recommended him to Surrey Academy Director Gareth Townsend.

He made his first-class debut for Surrey against Essex at the Kia Oval in 2013 and went on to take 5/34 against Scotland in a One Day match two days later. His continued form for the Three Feathers saw England honours come in all three formats in 2017 and performed the role of being one of England’s go-to bowlers at both ends of a white-ball innings for a lengthy period of time. His 28 ODIs and 30 T20Is have yielded 34 and 29 wickets respectively, to go with 2 Test scalps.

A maiden First Class century came at Northamptonshire in scintillating style. Tom scored 115 in 93 balls – two runs shy of dad Kevin’s best at Wantage Road. Tom is a significant feature of Surrey’s T20 season, having collected over 90 wickets and 900 runs over the years. His spectacular innings of 86 off 75 against Somerset, whilst batting with the tail, in a crunch fixture is among Surrey’s iconic knocks of late in the red ball game.
