The one-day side is the way in. It's a little bit daunting but I think I've got a very good chance Ed Joyce

He was overlooked when Alastair Cook and Owais Shah were called up from the England A tour to the West Indies to join the senior squad in India.

But Joyce, who previously represented Ireland, believes he has a "very good chance" of a call-up this summer.

He told BBC London: "All I've got to do is repeat my form from last year and keep knocking on the door."

Joyce was fairly pleased with his form in the Caribbean, his first tour as a member of an England squad after becoming eligible last year.

"It was pretty successful - I did well in the one-dayers but not as well as I would have hoped in the Test matches.

"But hopefully I've pushed my name forward a bit more to try to get a spot for England.

"The England side is a difficult side to break into, especially the Test side.

"But the one-day side is the way in. It's a little bit daunting but I think I've got a very good chance what with the amount of cricket they're playing these days."

Joyce revealed he had never met England coach Duncan Fletcher but had been introduced to captain Michael Vaughan, who spent some of his injury down-time watching England A in the West Indies.

"It's pretty obvious what you have to do to get into that side," added Joyce, who also bowls some medium pace.
