The new season of the IPL is set to take place between March & May with exact dates still to be confirmed. Curran, and his brother Sam who was retained by Chennai Super Kings last month, will be unavailable for selection for Surrey while they compete in the tournament.
25-year-old Tom has played in the IPL twice before, representing Kolkata Knight Riders in 2018 and Rajasthan Royals in 2020. He also has extensive experience in other overseas T20 leagues, having played for Sydney Sixers in Australia and Tshwane Spartans in South Africa.
