England all-rounder wants to turn strong IPL into international recall

And Curran believes some good performances in Chennai will catch the eye of McCullum and help him earn a recall to international cricket.

"My main aim is probably just to get back into the (England white-ball) side," Curran told the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast.

"With England, I guess I've never really found that perfect role. In the Champions Trophy and the series in India (at the start of 2025), there was no hiding that they stacked the batting in terms of playing a lot of batters and those extra quicks.

"I feel like if I get my role right with England, I'll get back into it, who knows what will happen now. The cliché of (needing) runs and wickets is no debate, I've got to keep doing that.

"I feel in a really good space. I was obviously gutted when it happened, but I'm still pretty young and feel like I have matured when it comes to handling the bad stuff. Being a bit more experienced, reading situations better, I really hope I can get back into the team.

"There is only one way (to do that), hopefully I can have a really good IPL and see where we are in the summer."
