Sam Curran ruled out of rest of English season after groin surgery

England all-rounder Sam Curran requires groin surgery and will miss the remainder of the English summer. The operation, scheduled for Friday, ends his hopes of a Test comeback this season.

Curran had been building his case for a return to the Test side through strong domestic performances, but the injury setback delays any potential recall until next year at the earliest.

Will Jacks is also recovering from appendix surgery, leaving England with limited all-round options. Both players' availability for the Sri Lanka series remains uncertain.
