Tom Curran is to play in the Big Bash this winter as his reputation as a Twenty20 specialist continues to grow.

Curran, who is the only uncapped member of England’s squad for the Royal London one-day series with West Indies, is on the verge of agreeing a deal to join the Hobart Hurricanes. He has already signed for Cape Town in Global T20 League in South Africa and hopes to be a part of England's white ball squads in Australia and New Zealand.

Curran impressed for England in the two Twenty20s against South Africa in early July and is in the squad for Saturday's game against West Indies at the Riverside. He took five wickets in two games against South Africa and England were impressed with how he coolly handled the step up to international cricket.

“I was very pleased with the way it went. Before the first game, I was very nervous, just ready to get out there. But the second T20, I felt a lot more at home and I take a lot of confidence from the way those games went into this series,” he said. “It was more the hype, the amount of messages you start getting and when other people say how big it is. I was ready to get out there, I was nervous, of course it is a big step up but when I actually got out there I just tried to go back to my skills and do what I’ve done for Surrey.”
