England all-rounder Tom Curran’s stint in the Big Bash League (BBL) with the Sydney Sixers has been cut short due to a knee injury. Curran sustained the injury during the Sixers’ match against the Melbourne Stars last Saturday.
The Sydney Sixers released an official statement, announcing that Tom Curran will be ruled out for the remainder of the KFC BBL|13 season due to the knee injury he suffered in their last match against the Melbourne Stars. The extent of the injury is currently unknown, and Curran will return to England for further assessments.
Curran’s time in the BBL was marred by controversy when he got into an argument with an official before the Sixers’ match against the Hobart Hurricanes on December 11. The altercation occurred when Curran attempted to finish a practice run-up on the pitch during the warm-up.
The Sydney Sixers appealed the subsequent ban, but the BBL upheld it, resulting in Curran missing three matches against the Melbourne Stars, Sydney Thunder, and Brisbane Heat.
After serving his suspension, the 28-year-old all-rounder made his on-field comeback on January 3. Despite the controversy, BBL general manager Alistair Dobson acknowledged Curran’s remorse but emphasized the importance of respecting and appreciating umpires in the game.
“Umpires are part of the lifeblood of cricket, and it is essential they are respected and appreciated by players at all levels of the game. We acknowledge the remorse Tom has shown following the appeal and look forward to seeing him back in Sixers colors,” said Dobson. He also expressed hope for Curran’s continued involvement in the competition in the future.
The extent of the injury and Curran’s recovery timeline will be determined after further assessments.
