Sam Curran stated he could have played in the competition, but he didn’t want to take the chance of injuring himself again.
Sam Curran, an England all-rounder who is recuperating from a back ailment, says he is disappointed to be missing the Indian Premier League’s 15th season. However, he believes that his choice to skip the major auction earlier this year was the correct one.
In October of last year, the southpaw sustained a stress fracture in his lower back during the second leg of the IPL, ruling him out of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and the Ashes. The England Board’s medical department recommended Sam Curran not to register for the auction since he was anticipated to make a return in the IPL.
Curran, 23, believes it would be premature to return to cricket action while recovering from the most catastrophic injury of his short career. “I’m kicking myself for not being able to go. Curran, who played for Chennai Super Kings (CSK), told ESPNcricinfo that it’s hard to watch from home.
The young pace-bowling all-rounder, on the other hand, acknowledged that his choice to skip the IPL auction was a wise one. “I wanted to attend (to the auction), but I ultimately decided against it, which was probably the wisest option.” Looking back, the IPL was maybe a little too soon “Curran said.
The English footballer said that he could have competed in the competition but chose not to because he did not want to risk another injury. “I probably could have thrown the dice and said, ‘Let’s go.'” I’m back in the nets now, so if you figure it out, I could have been out there bowling,” he continued.
Curran has said that he would want to play in the IPL again at some point in his career. “I absolutely want to return (to the IPL) at some point since it teaches you so much about the T20 game.” When you live and breathe cricket, it’s a competition. Every day when you walk down for breakfast, you’re sitting with superstars, discussing about the game “Added he.
Meanwhile, Curran, who hasn’t played since October of last year, is hoping to make an impression in Surrey’s County Championship opener against Warwickshire next week at Edgbaston. His primary goal is to reclaim his spot in the England Test team.
The English national team will face the World Test winners, New Zealand, in their next assignment in June, after losing 1-0 to the West Indies in the three-match Test series.
