Moeen Ali believes England have shown on their return to Test cricket that they are developing into a dangerous side.
After a disappointing World Cup campaign, England have hit back strongly with impressive displays in the first two Tests on the tour of the Caribbean.
After drawing the first game in Antigua despite dominating the game, England got over the line with a brilliant performance in Grenada to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Moeen, who was a late call-up to the side after a muscle injury, admitted the change of format has shown the best of the side.
"When we put on the Test kit we feel very confident," said Moeen.
"We had such a good summer against India and we all know our roles and games a lot more.
"This was my first game away from home but I've won my last four Test matches now.
"We have some very, very talented players and a lot of people know around the world that we can be a dangerous side.
"We just need to play and keep developing. It's going to take a bit of time but I feel the nucleus is there."
The Worcestershire all-rounder is also determined to prove his worth with the bat after a string of low scores followed a maiden century in just his second Test.
Moeen’s spin bowling has often claimed the headlines since he came into the side, with 26 wickets coming at an average of 27.53 in Test cricket, but one-day international hundreds against Sri Lanka and Scotland in the winter showed how dangerous he can be with the blade.
"I still feel there's a lot more of my batting to come, I just haven't justified it," he admitted.
"My bowling's kept me in the side, it's been almost a revelation to me, even in the one-day stuff it keeps me in the side as an opening batter.
"I feel like I'm more of an all-rounder now than I was probably a year ago but hopefully I can find my feet as a batter a bit more.
"I know I can do it - I've done it for Worcestershire many times before, so I just need to get the confidence back and really enjoy batting as well. I feel like it's round the corner.
"If things go well and I bat the way I know I can bat then maybe at some stage I will get up the order a bit."
Moeen’s growing importance to the side was shown when he was immediately recalled following his injury lay-off, but that meant James Tredwell gave way to his fellow off-spinner.
However Moeen praised the attitude of his teammate, who he revealed had been helping him develop as a bowler.
"Tredders is a brilliant guy. He was obviously disappointed not to play this game but he never once made it look like he was disappointed at me," he said.
"He gave me a lot of tips during the game and it was similar during the World Cup when he wasn't playing and I was the spinner.
"He gives me advice, when to go over the wicket or round and sometimes going a bit wider to certain batters.
"He bowled at these guys in Antigua so he knows a little bit about them.
"The senior guys are very important and I've learned a lot from Tredders."
