Sam Curran

Curran scored 60 in his side’s three-wicket win at the Kia Oval.

Stokes made his surprise exit from the 50-over game earlier this week.

The Surrey all-rounder is building himself back up after a stress fracture in his lower back.

Curran’s 126 helped Surrey rack up four centuries in the same championship innings for only the second time in their history.

Curran played the last of his 24 Tests in August, missing the entire winter with a stress fracture of the back.

Curran missed the T20 World Cup and the Ashes due to a back problem.

The all-rounder has been replaced by brother Tom with their Surrey team-mate Reece Topley added as a travelling reserve.

The 22-year-old was rested after January’s tour of Sri Lanka and spent a week in quarantine after arriving in India on February 26.

Jos Buttler’s XI coasted to victory over Eoin Morgan’s team, with a second target then hastily set to gain more practice time.

The Chennai Super Kings used Sam Curran as an opening batsman in their 20-run victory over the Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday.
