Ben Curran

Ben Curran is an English-Zimbabwean cricketer born on June 7, 1996, in Northampton, England. He is a left-handed batsman and right-arm off-break bowler who has played domestically for Northamptonshire and other teams before making his international debut for Zimbabwe in December 2024. Ben is the son of former Zimbabwean international Kevin Curran, and the brother of England internationals Tom and Sam Curran. His cricket journey has seen him transition from county cricket in England to establishing himself as a growing talent in Zimbabwean cricket.

Since joining the Zimbabwe national team, Ben has made an impressive impact, scoring his maiden One Day International century against Ireland in February 2025. He has adapted well to the slower pitches and different playing conditions in Zimbabwe, highlighted by a strong first-class season where he emerged as one of the top run-scorers in the Logan Cup. Ben's performances in both Tests and ODIs signal his potential to become a key player in Zimbabwe’s lineup as they prepare for major international tournaments like the 2027 ODI World Cup. His journey exemplifies determination and adaptability in embracing his dual cricketing heritage.
