The left-handed opening batter was born in Northampton, England and is the son of Kevin Curran, who himself represented Zimbabwe in cricket. Strangely enough, his brothers Sam and Tom Curran are also cricketers and represented England. Ben Curran had started his career trajectory by playing for Northamptonshire, England himself, but later moved on to Zimbabwe where he now represents the team internationally. Netizens have often found it strange that the brothers play for different teams, however, they could not overlook the fact that each of the brother’s are very good cricketers on their own.
