About Tim Curtis

Born 1960. Tim Curtis is a British cricketer.

Timothy Stephen Curtis (born 15 January 1960) is a former England cricketer, English teacher and Director of Sport at RGS Worcester. He retired from teaching in 2016.

A right-handed batsman born at Chislehurst in Kent, Curtis was a prolific scorer for Worcestershire and county captain between 1992 and 1995. He is one of only two players to score 10,000 one day runs for the county, and during the late 1980s he had a brief international career.

As cricket correspondent, Colin Bateman, stated Curtis was "a diligent, determined opener... brought in to stop the rot against the 1988 West Indians with about as much success as those who had gone before him". In most rugby matches he played at university his name was listed in the programme as 'A. N. Other' – this subterfuge was the result of Curtis being contracted to play county cricket for Worcestershire, and he did not think they would approve of him risking injuries by playing rugby in the closed season. In 1988, he was selected for England and played in a total of five Test matches against Australia and West Indies as an opening batsman. However, his international career was unsuccessful, and he never reached fifty in a Test innings. He had more success at this time with Worcestershire, helping them to win the County Championship in 1988 and 1989, the Refuge Assurance League in 1987 and 1988, and the Benson & Hedges Cup and Refuge Assurance Cup in 1991.

In 1992, Curtis was appointed captain of Worcestershire,

Curtis had a spell as chairman of the Professional Cricketers' Association.
