All-rounder Sam Curran and his elder brother Tom Curran play international cricket for England. But on Wednesday (01 April) a big claim surfaced on social media, in which it was said that now both the players have officially committed to play for Zimbabwe.
Both their father Kevin Curran was a player who played international cricket for Zimbabwe. He played 11 ODIs for Zimbabwe between 1983 and 1987. Ben Curran, elder brother of Sam Curran and younger than Tom Curran, is currently playing international cricket for Zimbabwe. Therefore, Curran’s family has also been very close to Zimbabwe cricket. So let us know what was said in the post about Sam and Tom Curran.
Viral post claim
The viral post featuring Sam Curran and Tom Curran read, “I can now confirm that former England cricketers Sam and Tom Curran have officially committed to play for Zimbabwe Cricket. Tom Curran is immediately available while Sam will have to wait a few months for his switch from England to be confirmed by the ICC.”

It was further written, “After Zimbabwe’s successful World Cup performance in India and Sri Lanka, top level talks have been going on for the last one month.”
actual reality of the claim
So let us tell you that at present this claim is completely false, because no post or statement has been issued by both the players regarding this. It is also worth noting that both the players were not born in Zimbabwe, due to which both of them may not be immediately eligible to play international cricket for Zimbabwe.
If a person does not have Zimbabwean citizenship by birth, he must have completed at least four years of ordinary residence in Zimbabwe to be eligible for a contract with Zimbabwe Cricket.
