England all-rounder Tom Curran has decided to take an indefinite break from red-ball cricket to focus on his physical and mental health. Curran, 27, has suffered with multiple injuries in recent years and will look to streamline his schedule as he attempts to keep his body strong for the rigours of white ball cricket.
In shorter formats, the elder Curran brother has represented Surrey in the Vitality Blast, as well as the Oval Invincibles in The Hundred. He has previously played for the Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League, as well as having a stint for the Sydney Sixers in the Australian Big Bash League.
Curran has recently been plying his trade for the Desert Vipers in the ILT20 and will soon be joining up with Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League.
The imposing demands of such a full schedule have led Tom to decide to take a temporary step back from the longer format of the game to ensure his body and mind have adequate time to recover between white ball competitions.
