Sam Curran Eyes Fresh England Test Role After Stokes Exit

England could soon have another option in its Test side. Sam Curran said on Friday he'd welcome the opportunity to fill the seam-bowling all-rounder role after Ben Stokes retired from international cricket, while adding he'll keep giving his best whenever selected. Curran, 28, hasn't played Test cricket since England's home series against India in August 2021 and is playing the current T20 series against India.
