Recalled Blackcaps batsman Neil Broom is hoping he can impress selectors in the next two ODI matches against Bangladesh and earn himself a spot in the Test team.
Having not played an ODI for the Blackcaps since 2010, Broom returned to the international stage in his hometown of Christchurch and scored 22 runs off 33 balls.
"I wasn't as nervous as I was when I played for the first time all those years ago - I'm a bit older now at 33, and I'm looking at each game as if it's my last to stamp my mark on the time," said Broom.
Broom is hoping to score more runs in the next two matches and make the case that he deserves a spot in the Test team.
"It's always been a massive goal of mine to play Test cricket, but I suppose if I can score runs in these next two games then you put your name up in lights for the Test spot."
Even if he doesn't make the Test team, he's delighted to have been given a second chance in the national side.
"It's nice to be given a chance at this late stage in my career.
"I never thought it'd happen again but I don't want to look back with any regrets this time. I just want to play my game and I thought I didn't really do that at Hagley Oval, so I have two games left to just play the way I do - here's hoping."
He'll have a chance to show his true worth with the next two games at Saxton Oval, a pitch which traditionally favours batsmen.
Broom thinks that will play in his favour, and he is unfazed by the Bangladesh bowlers.
"They're a good attack, they're a pretty experienced side and have a couple of good spin bowlers. They're a decent attack but there's nothing there that'll scare you pace-wise, and we're playing on some pretty good pitches."
Bangladesh will be confident heading into the game, as they hold the record for the highest score at the venue, when they posted 322-4 against Scotland during the 2015 Cricket World Cup.
