England all-rounder Tom Curran says he will t be showing all his tricks during upcoming IPL keeping in mind T20 World Cup that begins in Australia in October.
"If I'm bowling in nets to some of Indian guys, I'm t going to be showing m all tricks," Curran, who was bought by Rajasthan Royals for his base price of Rs one crore, was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
"But that's a huge benefit of having Jos, Stokesy and se guys. I think you actually learn a lot too. Speaking to Jos I'll learn about batting. You just need to have some of players on international st to talk to, and try things with."
24-year-old said during IPL, focus will be on self-improvement. "I don't think you chat weaknesses with los of people anyway. re'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," he said.
Australian Andrew McDonald will be at helm at Rajasthan Royals and Curran said though he is looking forward to working with him, sometimes he might need to filter information. "I don't think it will make too much of a difference. It will be great to work with him (McDonald) re and he'll be fully involved once he gets to India," he said.
"I haven't worked with him full-time but I have bumped into him. ways you tend to bump into people and have conversations, so it will be a really good experience. "You're always going to have coaches, but it's about filtering information. re are things that people say some people you're going to listen to, and you almost build up that relationship over time from working with someone."
Rajasthan will also have two top England cricketers in Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes and Curran said it helps to have familiar faces around in a hectic tournament like IPL. "I'm really looking forward to it. I've alrey played a lot of cricket w with guys re, so it makes it that much easier. Especially being somewhere like India, where it's a busy hectic schedule, to have those familiar faces re will be nice.
