His performances in The Hundred have been equally impressive, taking nine wickets for Manchester Originals with a career-best 4-28.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Currie replaces Saqib Mahmood, who has been ruled out with a knee injury that requires minor surgery and will also see him miss England&#8217;s white-ball tour of New Zealand in October.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">A product of Hampshire&#8217;s Academy system, Currie made his county debut in 2020 and previously represented England at Under-19 level, taking 11 wickets across tours to the West Indies and South Africa in 2019-20. He also made his senior international debut for Scotland in March 2024, playing three ODIs, but remains eligible for England selection under ICC rules.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">The Ireland series presents Currie with the perfect opportunity to establish himself in England&#8217;s white-ball plans, with his aggressive wicket-taking style well-suited to the IT20 format.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hampshire seamer Scott Currie has earned his first England senior call-up for the IT20s against Ireland, replacing the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":139717,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-139716","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/139717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
