The Currans

Sam is out of the T20 WC due to a back injury

He is replaced by Tom, who was in the travelling reserves

His place in the reserves is taken by Reece Topley

I thought the travelling reserves packed up when Roy Orbison died.

The greed of the IPL has backfired have no sympathy.

Poor Sam has recorded a thanks and farewell message to the CSK fans. Still waiting for him to do one about Surrey.

Tom Curran out for months lower back stress fracture

But Sam is now fit.

The sad thing here is stuff like this doesn’t really seem like ‘Surrey’ news anymore. Tom is injured for a chunk of the season that he would normally be sat on an IPL bench. I hope that when he comes back he finally sees that he needs to play a full season with us to try and get some momentum back in his career because the way things are headed Surrey might be all he has left.

I think both the Currans are suffering from too little cricket, need a full season of bowling to get really fit,with no IPL!!! Put money aside and concentrate on improving yourself as a cricketer!!

If they can't agree to the above let's tell them thanks very much and goodbye.

No Sam Curran in the IPL, surprisingly. TC is injured anyway.

Sam put on his social media stuff that he's not bothering and concentrating on being ready for Surrey, what a time to be alive

That's very good of him.

we may have Sam back if fit, but I see that Ollie Pope has put himself up for auction at the IPL this year

I would have thought that the Currans experience would have put any young cricketer off the IPL. Short time gain is no substitute for good career progression

I can't imagine Pope would command a big fee, given his poor recent Test form and that he's not a white ball international player. Unless he fires in the West Indies he may well need Championship runs to hold on to his Test place. What on earth are his priorities?

Nearing a full return to bowling according to Batty, will miss the England test series

Just glad he can fully concentrate on Surrey duty until the end of June at the very least...

Good news, esp with CDG not being here after the game this week

It's my age. CDG will always be Charles de Gaulle, in human or airport form.
