Curran is representing the Sydney Sixers in BBL as he faced the ban due to a pre-match heated conversation with an umpire ahead of his team match against Hobart Hurricanes at Launceston. The netizens on the social media were not happy with Tom Curran’s action as some of them also criticized the pacer for his actions.
