Sam Curran will also not be a part of IPL 2022. In this article, we take a look as English all-rounder Sam Curran reveals the reason for not entering IPL 2022 Auctions.

Due to the bio-bubble requirements and based on the assignments for their national teams, a few popular players have missed the IPL 2022 bus. Some of the well-known names include Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, Sam Curran, Joe Root and Mitchell Starc. Even IPL legend Chris Gayle has decided not to enter the auctions.

Meanwhile, former Chennai Super Kings player Sam Curran has given the reason as to why he would be missing IPL 2022. He took to his social media account to reveal the reason.
It was agreed that sadly I should not enter the IPL auction this year and to focus on my rehabilitation. I’m back in the nets and feeling great so hope to be back soon, Wishing everyone all the best for the tournament. I look forward to starting the season with @surreycricket

In 32 games so far, the Englishman has scored 337 runs apart from taking 32 wickets. While he regularly did well with the ball, he has often produced quality knocks with the bat. It was in IPL 2021 that Curran suffered an injury that eventually ruled him out of the 2021 T20 World Cup.
Although Curran has confirmed that he has returned back to training, he has mentioned that his rehab process is yet to finish. Hence, considering some important assignments later this year, the youngster has given IPL 2022 a miss.
