James Vince believes he has a lot more to offer England despite topping the run charts and winning man of the series against Pakistan.
The Hampshire skipper, having made his international debut in the rained off 50-over match against Ireland last May, struck 125 runs at an average of 41.66 to help England secure a 3-0 Twenty20 International whitewash over Pakistan.
A formidable sprint-format player in county cricket, Vince showed glimpses of his talent with scores of 41, 38 and 46 on his first tour.
The 24-year-old told ecb.co.uk: “It is nice to contribute, I think I can play better than what I have done, but it has been nice to contribute and win the series 3-0 is a great achievement.
“Not many sides come here and win a series, and especially to win 3-0 is a great effort from everyone.”
Rather than head back to rainy England, Vince will remain in United Arab Emirates to skipper England Lions.
Five matches against Pakistan A will give the right-handed batsman the opportunity to again stake his claim for a place on the plane to India for the World Twenty20 in March.
“I am joining up with the Lions squad to play Pakistan A,” Vince said. “We have got five proper matches so that will be another tough series, I would imagine, but another opportunity to spend some time in the middle.
“That (World T20) is a big event to look forward to. Hopefully I can get some more runs under my belt in the Lions matches and see where it takes me.”
Vince's contribution in the final T20 was vital to England securing their sixth consecutive limited-overs win over the designated hosts.
Having been promoted to open in the absence of the rested Alex Hales, Vince weighed up the situation and played a fine knock when wickets were falling around him.
Despite struggling for fluency, he helped England recover from 86 for six to post 154 for eight following a 60-run stand with Chris Woakes.
What a way to finish the series last night. Amazing effort by everyone to win 3-0 out here. Thanks for all your support.

“I struggled a bit to time it, it was a fairly tough wicket, but the way Woakesy played at the end there to get us to a good score was magnificent,” he said.
That was a competitive total, but one that Pakistan matched as the game went into overtime in the form of a Super Over.
Chris Jordan became the first England bowler to deliver a Super Over and conceded just three, leaving Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler with the task of chasing four for the win.
“Like Morgs said at the end there, we probably didn't play our best but the fact that we managed to take it to a Super Over and the way CJ bowled was magnificent,” Vince added.
“Chasing four, I guess it is never easy in those sorts of situations but it got us over the line. It is great to win the series.”
Although a six-ball shootout was a unique experience for most of his team-mates, Vince has experienced one before.
"I did, in Barbados, when we played a Twenty20 league out there,” Vince explained. “We were chasing nought and we got it with one ball to go. They can be quite nervy occasions to get over the line.”
