Alex Hales is determined to prove that he is more than just a Twenty20 expert.
The 25-year-old has made his name in the shortest format, highlighted by becoming the world’s top-ranked Twenty20 batsmanlast September.
A stunning century in England’s World Twenty20 win over eventual champions Sri Lanka in March confirmed his presence as one of the biggest hitters on the international stage.
Hales belted an unbeaten 116 against the world champions, from 64 balls, to become the first England player to score a century in a Twenty20 international.
Despite those sorts of performances, Hales is yet to play for England in any other format and the right-hander is fearful of being labelled a Twenty20 player only.
"It is a little bit harsh to pigeon-hole me as a Twenty20 player,” he said.
"I had a shocker last year with the red ball but up until then I averaged 40 opening at Trent Bridge, which isn't a bad record at all.
"I'm keen to learn from last year and put it behind me and move on.
"I feel it's too early to be pigeon-holed as a Twenty20 player and I'm working hard on the other aspects of my game."
With the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand less than 12 months away, Hales wants to push his claims for the 50-over team this summer.
He was not included in the initial squad for the first three games of the upcoming Royal London One-Day Series against Sri Lanka, although he will resume hostilities with them in the sprint format on Tuesday at the Kia Oval.
"I feel as though I've got the rest of the package too," the Nottinghamshire man said.
"I feel if they (the selectors) gave me the chance in 50 overs this summer I would be ready for it.
"I've seen a lot of Sri Lanka and I feel I would be ready for the chance if it came along."
Hales admits he has endured a frustrating domestic summer so far, after he was briefly loaned out to Worcestershire to find some form in the LV= County Championship.
The deal was aborted after one game during which Hales hit 63 – his best first-class four-day score since August 2012.
Hales did also make 61 in the season-opener for Notts and he is determined to prove his worth after returning to Trent Bridge.
"It is a little bit frustrating because I've felt in good touch in the nets and I've got a couple of half-centuries under my belt," Hales said.
"It's been a bit of a strange one but the guys in the middle order at Notts have been outstanding so far, so all I can do is wait for my chance and score as many runs as I can.
"That's been the story of the season so far really - dealing with that frustration.
"In England you do get a bit of seam movement with the early morning starts and two new balls, so you do need some form of solid technique opening up.
"With the World Cup being in Australia and the pretty flat pitches there, it's pivotal I score runs for Notts.
"If I can do well for Notts and do my thing in Twenty20 we'll see where we're at."
Hales is also hopeful that the arrival of a new coaching staff will help his cause.
New Head Coach Peter Moores began his second reign in charge with victory over Scotland in a rain-reduced one-day international earlier this month.
Hales was not involved in that match but has the chance to impress Moores after joining up with the England team for Tuesday’s NatWest International T20.
“I've never worked with Peter Moores before so it's a new experience for me - he seems brilliant so far," Hales said.
"The winter was obviously disappointing in all aspects and the World Cup didn't go to plan either.
"There's a few new faces though and a change in management, and with this game being a one-off everyone is really up for it to get the public back with us.
"That's the harsh environment of international sport and the guys are absolutely buzzing for it."
