Test opener Crawley has scored over 1 000 runs in 13 matches since the start of 2023, playing with an attacking, aggressive style that has often helped his team get off to quick starts.
His test form has led to calls for his inclusion in the white-ball teams, but the 26-year-old was left out of Englands squads for last years 50-overs World Cup and the Twenty20 edition next month.
Ive always wanted to be a good white-ball player, Crawley, who has played eight one-day internationals and no T20Is for England, told the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast.
Im trying to add a few other shots to my game, but I feel like its quite suited and Ive gone well in T20 cricket in the past when Ive had a run at it.
Crawley said much of his focus had been on test cricket in recent years.
It was always my priority for me to play test cricket, he added. That will always be my number one format - it means the most to me - but playing any format for England is a huge honour and playing white-ball cricket is something I really want to do.
Im trying to add a bit more power to my game, Im working hard in the nets trying a few different things to hopefully hit more and bigger sixes.
