Hoping for a very good performance in ODI cricket where 3289 starts from 73 innings with an average of 52.20.
The 27-year-old already has 17 50s and nine centuries in the game, with his top 170 against Ireland in 2019.
Under normal circumstances, he will be first in the upcoming series against Sri Lanka, where he has had success in the past.
However, his involvement has been questioned due to prolonged inactivity.
Refused to travel due to coronavirus fears, Hope missed the recent 3-0 series loss in Bangladesh, only to test positive for the virus with his brother Kyle ahead of the Super 50.

It took a while for the Barbadian to get started but eventually found his form, hitting a six on the ground and teeing off for offside multiple times.

Hope has impressed, though, and likely has done enough to win the selection, as the Windis are one place above them in Antigua next month.
