Surrey Bowler Curran joins England ODI squad

London: Surrey bowler Tom Curran has been added to England's one-day squad for the West Indies tour as back-up to Jake Ball.

Nottinghamshire's Ball, 25, is to have a scan on a knee injury he suffered in a warm-up game on Monday in St Kitts.

It is South Africa-born 21-year-old Curran's first senior call-up and comes in the middle of his involvement with the England Lions in Sri Lanka.

He is the son of late Zimbabwe all-rounder Kevin Curran, and brother of Surrey and Lions player Sam Curran.

England opener Alex Hales is also set to join the side after recovering from a hand fracture.
