West Indies opener Evin Lewis intends to use the upcoming ICC World Cup to announce himself as one of the world’s best opening batsmen.

The 27-year-old Lewis will be playing in his first world cup and is set to bat at the top of the order with fellow left hander Chris Gayle.

In his 35 one day internationals for the West Indies, Lewis averages 32.58 and has scored two centuries and three half-centuries.

However, having recorded his highest ODI score of 176 not out in England back in 2017, he is confident the conditions will suit him

With just one official warmup game remaining before the start of the world cup, Lewis said the team was in high spirits and was looking forward to putting their best feet forward.
