PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC-Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel opener, Evin Lewis, is hoping that his recent success with the bat could help him earn a call up to the West Indies Cricket team.
Lewis has scored 192 runs in four games with two fifties in Caribbean Premier League (CPL), hitting his second successive fifty in the game against St Lucia Zouks.
The left-handed batsman is eyeing selection with West Indies scheduled to play Bangladesh, India and South Africa in the coming months
“I definitely have West Indies aspirations. Always had,” Lewis said.
“That never changed. Luckily for me, the last couple games, the bowlers have been putting it [the ball] in my scoring spots so that’s made it easier for me”.
Lewis’ 77 against the Zouks on Sunday and his 129-run opening partnership with Kevin O’Brien set up Red Steel’s nine-wicket win and helped them open up a two-point lead at the top of the table.
He was also impressive in the Champions League T20 last year, where he topped scoring charts with 211 runs at 42.20.
“I just want to keep going out there and keep doing my best,” Lewis said.
“Not just for T20s but also hopefully, in Tests.”
