Warwickshire all-rounder George Garton aims to follow up his dazzling century against Nottinghamshire with plenty more runs this season.
The 29-year-old, recovering from a back injury, admits that he is unlikely to bowl this season, but he is keen to make further contributions with the bat.
“I've always classed myself as an all-rounder,” he said. “I burst onto the scene as a fast-bowling left-arm seamer but my batting's always been there. It was Michael Yardy at Sussex who saw something and told me to work harder on my batting.
“I can’t bowl at the moment because of a stress fracture in my back, so it is nice that I can bat and field and try to help the lads in that way. In T20s my role has been to come in and up the scoring rate and be the finisher so, from a selfish point of view, to get 35 overs batting was really nice.
