Jofra Archer feels at home with his new England team-mates after a warm welcome to the squad but will not complain if he fails to make the World Cup.
The Barbados-born paceman made his much-anticipated debut in Friday's nip-and-tuck victory over Ireland, finally taking to the pitch after a three-year qualification period and a seemingly endless bout of debates around his selection.
His work on the Twenty20 franchise circuit has seen Archer touted as an X-factor cricketer who can lift the seam attack to new heights, but others have questioned whether his availability has come too late in the four-year cycle to settle in a role.
"Anyone would think about it but I'll just try to play well and hope, I guess. I'll try not to set my heart on it," he said.
"Obviously the guys have been together a long time and they probably do deserve it so I won't feel too bad if I'm left out.
"If I do well here it will probably put my case forward but I'm not focusing on the World Cup spot."
England handed a late call-up to Archer and Jordan's Sussex team-mate Phil Salt ahead of their trip to Cardiff. The Wales-born batsman was added as cover for the one-off T20 after Dawid Malan was ruled out with a groin injury sustained while batting in Malahide.
The 22-year-old is a highly-rated prospect at Hove and hit his maiden List A century against Kent last month, but is likely to be on hand as cover.
Ben Duckett is in line to take Malan's place in the batting order, making his short-form bow and his return to England colours for the first time since November 2016.
Ben Foakes will also debut after his match-winning 61 not out versus Ireland, looking to scoop a unique hat-trick having been named man-of-the-match in his maiden Test and ODI appearances.
