West Indies vice-captain for the One Day International (ODI) team Sunil Ambris is hoping to stake his claim for a regular place in the first-team squad, by scoring at least one 100 in the upcoming tour of Bangladesh.

The 27-year-old Ambris was among several players unexpectedly named to the West Indies squad for the tour after 12 first-team players made themselves unavailable for the tour.  Prior to that Ambris had last played for the team in February of last year, on the team’s tour of Sri Lanka.  On that occasion, the player averaged 26 in three matches.  He was not selected to the team for either of the team’s previous tours to England or New Zealand.

“This is the first tour that I’m actually confident that I will be starting.  So, I would like to use this tour to cement myself in the starting 11 for other tours,” Ambris told members of the media via an online press conference on Friday.

So far he's shooting blanks.

A bid let down from the under-19 days....his batting in the under-19 World Cup was something to remember....after that fateful N.Z. series, he is nowhere near .. what he was....

Ambris seem to have gone backwards, for a person who have gone on several tours he should look better than he is looking now. In his batting style it seems like his technique is not making time to adjust to the lateral moving ball, maybe it is not a good idea to have him opening the batting. Very disappointing.

This team of players will shut up a lot of people on this board for touting their pick. The talent level is not there.
Again bowled out in 33 overs.
Test team averages 55 overs.
Something is wrong with the players and their ability to stay in the crease and absorb overs.
No amount of HPC will increase the talent pool if the players themselves do not personally WANT to improve their skills.
