Styris out to cement Twenty20 spot.

Scott Styris, the New Zealand allrounder, is determined to force his way back into the starting XI at the ICC World Twenty20. Styris is not a guaranteed starter despite having been part of the squad for the previous two tournaments, as well as after a successful return to the ODI squad against Australia in March, during which he averaged 49.00 with the bat.

Scott Styris said;

"I didn't make it for the home season, so at no stage have I thought I'm in the playing XI," he told the New Zealand Herald. "I have to go out and put good performances on the board, otherwise I'll find myself sitting watching these games, which is not what I want."

He also added;

"The selectors, over the last 12 to 18 months, have shown in their view I'm not in the Twenty20 side, so I've got to change that, whether I think I should be or not. It's up to me to go out and try and change their opinion," he said. "I've had a wee bit of a break and now it's up to me to make sure I hit the ground running."
