Career
McCurdy represented Australia's U-19 team. He played for Victoria before moving to Tasmania, for whom he took 7-81 against the touring New Zealanders in 1980–81.
He returned to Victoria for the 1981–82 season. During the 1984–85 summer, McCurdy signed to play in South Africa.
McCurdy was selected in the original squad to tour England in 1985. However his South African commitments meant he was unable to tour. McCurdy:
It always bugs me. I was picked on the Ashes tour. Would I have gone there? Yes, I was going there. We would have loved to have gone there, played in the Ashes, and then come out to South Africa afterwards. At least I would have had my opportunity. That's a disappointment for me.[5]
McCurdy stayed in South Africa after the tour playing for Eastern Province[6] and joined the rebel tours in South Africa in 1985–86 and 1986–87, defying the international sporting boycott of the apartheid state.
He later ran a security business in Port Elizabeth, making alarms for homes and small businesses. He then moved to Johannesburg to work as operations manager of Tellytrack, the racing television station.
