Sam Curran appointed Surrey T20 captain for 2025 Blast

Sam Curran has been appointed as the captain of Surrey's men's T20 team for the 2025 Vitality Blast, succeeding Chris Jordan. Curran, an established all-rounder and player of the tournament during England's 2022 T20 World Cup victory, has a wealth of leadership experience, having captained both Punjab Kings in the IPL and Desert Vipers in the ILT20. With over 4,000 T20 runs and more than 250 wickets, Curran expressed his honor in leading Surrey, stating his determination to uphold the club's high standards and success in winning trophies. Surrey's High Performance Cricket Advisor, Alec Stewart, praised Jordan's contributions and emphasized that it is the right time for Curran to take on the captaincy role. Curran has been with Surrey since his youth, first representing them at age 15, and briefly captained the team in the 2023 Vitality Blast. His promotion is seen as a step towards a potential future captaincy role for England's white-ball team.
