Sussex cricket captain Chris Adams has set his sights on forcing his way into England's World Cup plans.
Adams, who averaged just over 40 in one-day cricket last summer, feels he can offer something extra to Duncan Fletcher's men.
Adams said: "I have looked at the statistics and I have got 16 one-day hundreds which is almost as many as England's top four batsmen combined.
"I averaged 42 in all one-day cricket last season and I do tend to score my runs quickly.
"I'm improving all the time with the ball, having done a lot of work this winter on my bowling.
"I finished top of the first-class averages last year, albeit with only ten wickets, and was quoted as being the best all-round cricketer in the country as regards runs, wickets and catches in The Cricketer magazine."
He added: "My aim now is to do well this season and impress the England selectors so it gives me the chance to stake a claim for the World Cup."
