Sam Curran Ruled Out for England's Home Season After Groin Surgery
England all-rounder Sam Curran has been ruled out for the remainder of the home season after undergoing groin surgery, ending his chances of returning to Test cricket against Pakistan. Curran, 28, had been considered a potential replacement for retired captain Ben Stokes. The injury occurred during The Hundred, and he will miss the ongoing Test series. Fellow Surrey player Will Jacks also underwent emergency appendix surgery, sidelining him from the Pakistan Tests but possibly available for upcoming white-ball matches.
