West Indies wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich is targeting a century and an average of 40 in the three-test series against England next month, the 28-year-old has said, reports Reuters.
Dowrich managed only 24 runs in six innings in his 2017 tour of England and is determined to make amends.
“I consider myself a different player to what I was three years ago,” Dowrich told British media on Sunday.
“The last time I was here, it was very tough for me - it was a series that really changed around my career.
“Playing in England will always be a challenge, but I think I’m ready for it,” added Dorwich, who since 2018 has an average of 40, the highest by any wicketkeeper.
“I’d like to leave England with a test hundred, and I’m looking to average around 40 in this series,” he said.
“Scoring runs is always a challenge, but I think if you’re going to rate yourself as a player, you have to be able to do it. I think I’ve put in enough work to come away with something in the series.” Batting at number seven Dowrich will need help from the tailenders to achieve his goals.
