He hasn't played red-ball cricket in over a year but England all-rounder Tom Curran says he has huge Test ambitions and is developing his skills to make a comeback.

"I've definitely got huge Test ambitions still," Tom said in a joint video conference call with brother Sam, who is a part of England's Test set-up.

"It's a tough one because I've been playing so much white-ball over the last few years. Without playing Championship cricket it is hard," said the 25-year-old.

Tom, who has played two Tests for England -- both in the 2017-18 Ashes in Australia, hopes to feature in a five-day game alongside Sam.

"Over the last couple of years there was a huge focus on white-ball cricket with the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019 and rightly so," he said.

"Now it's trying to get that balance between white and red-ball cricket and developing my skills and awaiting my chance. I'll keep training hard and try to take my chances when I can. It would be amazing to play Tests with Sam. That's definitely a huge ambition of ours."
"It is a shock to all of us, players, people involved in the sport, fans and lovers of the sport. It is a shock to the system but what we're going through is nothing in the grand scheme of things."
