Joshua Da Silva is ready to show his worth and earn his spot in the West Indies.
The 28-year-old is on the verge of a return to the playing-XI, nearly two years after last donning the maroon to represent the regional side.
He was selected to the 15-man squad for the upcoming two-Test series against Sri Lanka after leading the T&T Red Force to the title in the WI Championship.
Over the past two editions of that tournament, he amassed 996 runs, including a maiden double century this year.
“It’s been really good coming back into the team. I’ve been accepted and mingling with everyone like I’ve been here for the last couple of years, so it feels like I have not been away for very long”, says Da Silva said.
“I just want to start well. I want to get accustomed to playing at the international level again, find my feet, score runs and, of course, keep well. My goal is to stay in the team for as long as possible. Last time I had a five-year run, so hopefully I can make it even longer and set a new personal benchmark,” he adds.
The first Test runs from June 25th-29th, while the second is carded for July 3rd-7th.
Both matches will be played in Antigua.
