In a recent podcast with Stuart Broad, England all-rounder Sam Curran has expressed his intentions to make a comeback in the national side. Curran spoke about a lot of aspects in the podcast, the most prominent of them being his wish to play World Cups. In the company of former Australian player, Tom Moody, Curran also give an insight into his mindset as a player. Curran is currently playing in The Hundred and is a part of the Oval Invincibles. The franchise is one of the favourites to win the tournament again this year.
The duo also touched upon points like how each player is different in terms of the reasons he chooses to play for a particular franchise. According to Moody, the culture of a particular team is very important and plays a huge role in its success in the league. A team should therefore be willing to set the right standards for its players. It will have to be seen if Curran can make a comeback to the national side, particularly in the shortest format.

Apart from the franchise discussions, the English all-rounder had a lot to speak about the realistic measures about his wish to get into the national side. Upon being asked whether he is in touch with any of the people in England’s management, he mentioned that he met Brendon McCullum, the head coach for breakfast a few weeks ago. They spoke about the realistic chances of Curran getting back to the English side.
For any team and its management, it is extremely important that the communication with the player is efficient. Head coach McCullum spoke directly about what he thought on the lines of Curran’s game. Curran went ahead and mentioned that the fire of winning a World Cup still burns inside him, and would love to don the Three Lions jersey again in his career.
In 58 matches in his T20I career till date, Curran has bagged 54 wickets. He also has a five-wicket haul to his name. Though his wicket-taking ability in the shortest format isn’t the best, he is a good all-rounder. In 34 innings, he has scored 356 runs as well. Surprisingly enough, he has batted at every position from No.4 to No.9, barring the No.8 spot. However, his best position has been at seven, where he has scored 145 runs in the shortest format. Curran has also played in six different franchise leagues in the world. His exploits with the bat and ball with surely hold him in good stead.
