"Obviously you have to see how the IPL tournament pans out, if you missed the qualifications I presume you`ll be most likely to be available for those Tests," Curran told British media. "But if you are in the final, it might be a bit different. It`s still quite a way away. No one really knows how it`s gonna pan out, so yeah fingers crossed.

England all-rounder Sam Curran on Monday gave clear indication that he might skip the home Test series against New Zealand starting June 2, provided Chennai Super Kings play the IPL final on May 30. With the ongoing debate in England about England players choosing IPL over Test matches, Curran`s statement was like a reality check for the English cricket establishment. "Obviously you have to see how the IPL tournament pans out, if you missed the qualifications I presume you`ll be most likely to be available for those Tests," Curran told British media. "But if you are in the final, it might be a bit different. It`s still quite a way away. No one really knows how it`s gonna pan out, so yeah fingers crossed.
Will see how the IPL goes," one of Mahendra Singh Dhoni`s main weapons gave an indication where his priorities lay. The 22-year-old Chennai Super Kings all-rounder is back in India for the white ball leg of the bilateral series against India and then will join Dhoni`s team for the marquee league. "It`s great as a player to be playing in that tournament, especially with the T20 World Cup in India, it`s going to be great preparation, great for us to keep developing in these conditions," Curran said. The three-time IPL champions had their worst season ever finishing seventh and the Dhoni-led side missed the playoff for the first time.
