Growing up in the quaint English county of Buckinghamshire, Curtis's love affair with cricket began almost as soon as he could walk. Cheered on by a cricket-mad family, young Joel would often be found practising in his backyard, pretending to be his heroes.
His immense promise began to shine through at an early age, swiftly making waves in local youth leagues.

His playing style radiates the essence of modern cricket, merging traditional wicketkeeping skills with inventive play.
