Sam Curran has left the England Test squad to re-join Surrey for the fourth round of the Bob Willis Trophy.

The 22-year-old was dropped for the third Test against Pakistan, the last international red-ball match of the summer, and replaced by Jofra Archer.

He is now free to play against Kent for a Surrey side who have lost all three of their first-class matches this term.

Curran has played twice for England this summer, in the second Tests of the series against West Indies and Pakistan.

After finishing with match figures of 3-100 and scoring 17 runs against the Windies, he claimed 1-44 in the rain-affected draw with Pakistan.

On Friday, Ben Foakes and Ollie Robinson were permitted to re-join their counties Surrey and Sussex respectively.

James Bracey, Jack Leach, and Mark Wood remain in the bio-secure bubble as reserves and substitute fielders.
