The 28-year old Muir, who spent the first half of his professional career on the Sevens circuit, did play for England A against Portugal but did not make a matchday 23 in the Six Nations and his target now is the summer visits to Japan and New Zealand.
"I enjoyed my time with England," said Muir. "They have a different system to Bath, not least in defence, and it was about acclimatising to how they wanted to play and I got my head around it. The week with the A team for Portugal was also a great experience.
"It was good to get back to Bath. When I came through the office where the coaches were after training they remarked on how I was looking for things more and trying to get the ball in my hands as often as possible. It was nice to hear that they think I am improving.
“You never know when it comes to England selection in the future, but I like to think I took a step in the right direction. It was good to get positive feedback from the coaches and they told me what they wanted me to work on.
“It is now about playing well for Bath in the final stretch of the season and putting myself in the best possible position. There is a lot of rugby to be played in the next few months and we are still in contention for two trophies. I feel fresh and ready to play.”
