Curran on indefinite break from Test cricket
Tom Curran is one of England’s promising all-rounders. Particularly effective in white-ball cricket. He wants to focus more on limited overs cricket. Due to which, curran took a break from Test cricket. However, the English all-rounder did not say anything to retire from cricket.
Although Curran has been out of the national team for a long time. He was left out of the team mainly due to injury and off form. This pace bowling all-rounder has yet to recover from that drop. This time, however, Curran wants to move forward with a different plan. Thus, instead of playing Test cricket, he wants to prepare himself physically and mentally for the white ball.
On his break from Test cricket, Curran said in an interview, “The last few years have been tough for me. I want to bounce back from that tough time. I’m taking a break from Tests. It’s a big decision. I think I’m physically and mentally fit. It’s the right decision to stay. But it’s also true that not all decisions in life can be 100% certain.”
But Karan feels he still has a lot to offer to domestic league Surrey and England. That’s why this all-rounder does not want to officially retire from Test cricket now. In this context, Curran also said, “I am withdrawing myself from this (Test). But I am not going to retire now. I still want to give more to my team Currey and England.”
It should be noted that Curran has played a total of 2 Test matches in England’s jersey so far. His performance in batting, however, was not very good. Besides scoring 66 runs with the bat, he took just 2 wickets. However, he has played several matches in white ball cricket. That was a long time ago. Although currently focused on white-ball cricket, Karan’s comeback has been tough.
