Father: Kevin Curran, Brother: Ben Curran, Tom Curran and Sam Curran
Ben Curran is a left-handed top-order batter who has carved his own path in cricket, following in the footsteps of his famous cricketing family. The 30-year-old from Northampton is the brother of England internationals Sam and Tom Curran, and the son of the late Kevin Curran, who played for Zimbabwe and Northamptonshire. Ben made his Northamptonshire debut in 2018 and quickly established himself, amassing 251 runs in his debut T20 Blast season. His consistent domestic performances earned him a call-up to represent Zimbabwe—the country of his father’s international career—and he made his Test debut against Afghanistan in December 2024, followed by his ODI debut later that month. In his first year of international cricket, Curran has already scored a Test century (121) and an ODI century (118 not out), showcasing his class and temperament at the highest level. With a first-class record of over 3,700 runs at an average of 38.58, he continues to build on his family’s cricketing legacy while creating his own identity on the international stage.
