IPL for Tom Curran
Curran although believes that IPL gives him a great opportunity to work with some of the world-class players and learn a lot. “But that’s a huge benefit of having Jos, Stokesy and these guys. I think you actually learn a lot too. Speaking to Jos I’ll learn about batting. You just need to have some of the players on the international stage to talk to, and try things with.”
For Curran, IPL is a great platform to work on individual performance and skill. The 24-year-old believes that in the league the focus will be on self-improvement. “I don’t think you chat weaknesses with loads of people anyway. There’s a few people who you might trust, and you might ask, ‘what does Steve Smith do in this situation?’ but it’s more about developing and getting better, which we players focus more on.”
