𝕴The right-armer also expressed that he is looking forward to bowl against such classy players.
“I think they are world-class players, and it is about as a bowler looking to executing my plans and looking at my skills than theirs. It will be a great challenge and one that I am looking forward to,” he spoke to IANS as quoted by India Today.
Curran, who had played the cash-rich league in 2018 for Kolkata Knight Riders, said he is l🃏earning from every game and trying to get better every time he goes to play.
“Every game of cricket I play I feel will have an influence – however big or small – on my selection for the World T20 in Australia, but I am not really looking to think so far ahead and want to take one game at a time. Just trying to get better every time I go out to the middle,” added Curran.
The Surrey player also envisaged sharing the dressing room withℱ Steve Smith and his compatriots Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler.
“It will be a great experience. Have been lucky to have played with and against them for a bit and know them well and looking forward to play with them and win games for the Royals,” Curran added further.
S⛦peaking about the▨ upcoming T20 WC, Curran expressed his belief that the England team has all the potential to win the coveted trophy for the second time.
“Absolutely, I think there is no reason why we can’t. We have some unbelievable players and guys have played a lot of T20 cricket. So, we will definitely be up there,” he signed off.
