Ravi Bopara is determined to use his new role in the England One Day International line-up to boost his hopes of a Test recall.
After more than 100 ODIs, Bopara is not entirely sure how he came to be currently deployed at number seven in the ongoing series against West Indies.
But as he approaches Wednesday's third and final ODI in Antigua - a match in which England are hoping to have Eoin Morgan fit again in their middle order - Bopara knows he must embrace his new role, for his and his team's sake.
