Scott Currie
Player Information
Player Overview
Scott Currie plays for Dubai Capitals in ILT20 Season 5. He is an England right arm medium fast bowler born on 2 May 2001 who plays for Hampshire in county cricket.
Career Background
Scott Currie is an England pace bowler who plays for Hampshire. He received an England T20I call up in 2025 and is known for his intelligent slower ball variations and accurate death over yorkers. He has developed his T20 reputation through consistent county cricket performances at Hampshire, where he has been part of a pace attack that competes in the T20 Blast each year. His ability to hit the deck hard and generate extra bounce on English pitches translates well to UAE surfaces, where pace off the pitch is effective in the powerplay when the new ball is hard and the pitch has not yet flattened out under the evening conditions.
ILT20 Record
Scott Currie plays for Dubai Capitals as a specialist pace bowler. Dubai Capitals won ILT20 Season 3 and reached the Season 4 final, losing to Desert Vipers by 46 runs at Dubai International Stadium on 4 January 2026. His role in the squad is to take wickets and control runs across all phases, with his best performances coming when he can bowl at the top of off stump and force batters into mistimed shots off his variations.
ILT20 Season 5 Context
ILT20 Season 5 runs from 22 November to 20 December 2026. Dubai Capitals play home matches at Dubai International Stadium, a 25,000 capacity venue in Dubai Sports City off Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. The November to December window works well for England based players like Currie because it falls outside the England domestic cricket schedule, allowing him to commit to the full ILT20 campaign without conflicting county or international commitments.
Playing Style
Currie bowls right arm medium fast and focuses his lines at the top of off stump. At Dubai International Stadium, where the pitch is flat and true in the middle overs, his slower ball variations and yorker accuracy are the key weapons that keep batters in check when the surface offers little natural assistance. In the powerplay, his ability to swing the new ball early in the evening session gives Dubai Capitals an attacking option at the top of the innings before the dew arrives and conditions change in the second innings.
