Overview
- Curran said scans after England’s T20 World Cup run revealed “reasonable” groin damage that forced his withdrawal from Rajasthan Royals.
- He has begun rehabilitation in England with no set return date, and his availability for Surrey’s early County Championship fixtures and the T20 Blast remains uncertain.
- Rajasthan Royals named Sri Lanka T20I captain Dasun Shanaka as his replacement on a deal reported at INR 2 crore.
- Because his exit is injury-related and supported by medical reports, Curran does not face IPL sanctions, unlike team-mate Ben Duckett after a non-injury pullout.
- He played all eight World Cup matches while managing the issue and called missing the IPL “very disappointing,” saying it will be tough to watch from home.
