Somerset all-rounder Craig Overton says he wants to make England selectors' jobs "as hard as possible" by continuing his excellent form for his county.

Overton was named men's player of the year at the Professional Cricketers' Association awards after an impressive season Somerset, who finished second in the County Championship.

Overton took 53 wickets - the third best in Division One - at an average of 19.18 and scored 734 runs, including three hundreds.

The 32-year-old has played 15 times for England, including eight Test matches and seven one-day internationals, but has not featured for his country since 2022.

"If I'm good enough they'll pick me and at the minute they're not quite doing that and that's their prerogative and they see their side going in a different way, which is fine," Overton told BBC Test Match Special podcast after picking up his award.

"For me it's just putting in performances and making their decisions as hard as possible."

Overton's form has led to discussion as to whether or not he should return to the England setup and fill the pace bowling all-rounder gap left by Ben Stokes' retirement.

Despite it being four years since he last played for England, Overton said he was "always thinking about it" although had not had contact with anyone about a return.

"Any kid's dream is to play for England and I'm no exception," he added.

"I've had a little taste of it and enjoyed it but it's also a challenge at the same time.

"It's something that I want to get back into but for me it's putting a performance in for my county and for every team that I'm playing for and if the call-up comes, the call-up comes."
