Agarwal started off his Test career quite solidly in Australia.
Having started his Test career with scores of 76, 42 and 77 in Australia last season, opener Mayank Agarwal now wishes to make a maiden ton in whites for India on the tour of Caribbean next month.
The two-match series begins on August 22 after the limited-overs leg is done and Mayank says he is ripe to tackle the varying conditions on offer in Antigua and Jamaica against a quality West Indies pace quartet.
"I have got enough time to prepare for the series. This is a big opportunity for me. I have never played in the West Indies. I look forward to a good one. If given a chance, I will give my best," Mayank, who finally received his maiden Test cap in Melbourne after scoring tons of runs at the domestic level for Karnataka, told TOI.
"Whatever I learnt in Australia, I will apply in the Test series against the West Indies. Honestly, there was a lot to learn from (the) Australia (tour). It was a big opportunity for me. I wanted to perform and thankfully I did. I am happy that I scored well," he added.
Mayank will have the opportunity to rebegin his Test career after an eight-month scheduling gap and take that form forward to the home season that sees India face-off South Africa and Bangladesh before the tour of New Zealand next January.
"I scored 70s in both the Tests (Melbourne and Sydney) and I would like to convert those 70s into 100s in the West Indies," he signed off.
