Sam Curran undergoes surgery, which is reported to lower his chances of returning to England’s Test squad. Multiple outlets say the procedure rules him out of immediate Test contention, particularly with the Pakistan series approaching.
The reports frame Curran as a player who had been considered to strengthen England’s squad for the Test series against Pakistan. With his availability affected by the surgery, the team faces an adjustment to its selection plans for upcoming matches.
While the outlets focus on the impact of the surgery on recall prospects, they do not provide extensive additional detail about the medical reason or a timetable for recovery. Overall, they converge on the same point: Curran’s surgery comes at a time when he was expected to feature in England’s Test plans.
