CURRAN NO.3 SIGNS UP FOR COUNTY DEAL

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE have announced the signing of Ben Curran, brother of England internationals Sam and Tom, on a two-year contract.

Ben (above), a batsman, has been playing for the second XI but made his first-team debut in a Vitality Blast match against Derbyshire last week.

His late father was Northants captain Kevin, and Ben is the middle of the three brothers.

Tom and Sam, who play for Surrey, have represented England in Test and limited overs cricket.
