DUBLIN, Ire­land – Af­ter scor­ing his maid­en One Day In­ter­na­tion­al (ODI) cen­tu­ry, Sunil Am­bris is hop­ing to re­main on the minds of West In­dies se­lec­tors go­ing for­ward.

Am­bris stroked a su­perb 148 on Sat­ur­day at the top of the or­der to lead the Windies to a com­mand­ing five-wick­et vic­to­ry over Ire­land in the Tri-Na­tions Se­ries tour­na­ment, which al­so fea­tures Bangladesh.

The vis­i­tor’s sec­ond win in three out­ings has vir­tu­al­ly as­sured them of a spot in the fi­nal.

De­spite not be­ing named in the West In­dies’ 15-man squad for the ICC World Cup which bowls off at the end of the month, Am­bris said he be­lieves his his­tor­i­cal knock should keep him in good stead.

“That per­for­mance should ba­si­cal­ly keep my name there and let the se­lec­tors know that I’m still play­ing and I’m still scor­ing runs. As a pro­fes­sion­al crick­eter, I al­ways have to work hard so that’s what I’m go­ing to con­tin­ue do­ing,” Am­bris said.

With one more match re­main­ing he said was ea­ger­ly look­ing for­ward to get­ting more runs un­der his belt.

While his cen­tu­ry was the first by a Vin­cent­ian for the West In­dies, he said he had turned to his broth­er Romel Cur­ren­cy, a for­mer Wind­ward Is­lands bats­man, for ad­vice fol­low­ing his knock of 38 against Bangladesh.

“When I looked back at the last in­nings I played along with the coach­es I saw there was a prob­lem and I spoke to him about it. There are about 10 voice notes over four min­utes long with some ad­vice from him so I guess he had a big part to play along with the coach­es,” Am­bris said.
