Sam Curran offers a notable counterpoint during a county pre-season in which the treatment of players discarded by England has become a hot topic. But, after being axed 13 months ago ahead of the Champions Trophy, Surrey all-rounder Curran made a bold move, calling for a meeting with McCullum. I was out the team and just kind of asked what I needed to do,' Curran tells Daily Mail Sport. Curran spent Saturday volunteering at St Albans, acknowledging the importance of people mucking in at recreational clubs. 'It's very cold and still does not feel like cricket season, but it's great to see all the local people and I've been helping put up some sight screens,' he says.
