Kieswetter won't get carried away by century

CRAIG Kieswetter vowed to savour his first international century before conceding he had no idea when he would next represent England.

The 22-year-old opener was a late addition to the limited-overs squad in Bangladesh, having forced a promotion from the Lions through sheer weight of runs. He made good on those first impressions as England completed a series whitewash with a 45-run win in the third one-day international against Bangladesh, cracking nine fours and three mighty sixes in his 107.

Although clearly delighted by his knock, the Somerset batsman is unwilling to give too much thought to his next appearance in the spotlight.

Team captain Andrew Strauss will be back in the summer, meaning one of Kieswetter or stand-in skipper Alastair Cook may have to stand down.

Meanwhile, although he is on the 30-strong shortlist for the World Twenty20 next month, he has yet to play for England in the shortest format.

Reflecting on his prospects, Kieswetter said: "It's obviously really nice to get a hundred under my belt, especially so early in my career.

"It's something I'm going to cherish and the fact that we won the game and the series means a lot too.

"But I'm not trying not to look that far ahead right now. At the moment I'm just looking forward to going back to Somerset and putting in some solid pre-season performances down there.

"If I get selected (by England) I'll be really chuffed and really excited.

"But I'm just taking every day as it comes."
