Samuel Matthew Curran (born 3 June 1998) is a cricketer, who plays for Surrey County Cricket Club. Curran is a left-handed batsman who bowls left-arm medium-fast. He was born in Northampton and educated at Springvale House and St George's College, Harare in Zimbabwe then moved Wellington College, Berkshire. He is the son of Kevin Curran and the younger brother of Tom Curran.[1]
He made his debut for the county at first team level in the NatWest t20 Blast against Kent on 19 June 2015, aged only 17 years and 16 days.[2] He made his first-class debut in the match beginning on 13 July, also against Kent. At 17 years and 40 days, he was the second-youngest person to play first-class cricket for Surrey behind Tony Lock, who was 17 years and 8 days old when he made his debut, coincidentally 69 years earlier to the day and against the same county.[3] In the Kent first innings, opening the bowling with his brother bowling at the other end, he took 5/101.[4]
Surrey's Director of Cricket, Alec Stewart, has described him as the best seventeen-year-old cricketer he has ever seen.[5]
In December 2015 he was named in England's squad for the 2016 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[6]
