Curran's Season Over: Groin Surgery Sidelines England Star
20 Aug
Summary
- Sam Curran requires surgery for a groin injury, ending his season.
- The all-rounder was a potential option for England's Test side.
- Will Jacks also faces recovery after appendix surgery.
England all-rounder Sam Curran will miss the rest of the domestic season and September's white-ball series against Sri Lanka after needing surgery for a groin injury. The 28-year-old's operation is scheduled for Friday, marking a significant blow to his aspirations of a Test comeback this summer. He had been considered for England's Test squad following Ben Stokes' retirement.
Curran's fitness issues previously affected his participation in The Hundred, where he missed a match and had limited bowling in others. He had also withdrawn from the Indian Premier League in March due to a similar groin problem. His absence complicates England's efforts to balance their Test team composition.
Adding to Surrey's injury woes, Will Jacks is also sidelined after appendix surgery. Jacks, who previously filled a similar role during the Ashes, is being monitored for his availability for the upcoming Sri Lanka series. Both Curran and Jacks are unavailable for Surrey's current County Championship matches.
