Vikram Solanki was identified as an elegant, attacking batsman by England in 2000, and was picked for the limited-overs series in South Africa.
But he endured a torrid time, unable to resist flashing his bat at the wrong ball and looking out of his depth.
He was recalled to the one-day side in 2003, hitting a mature unbeaten 40 against Pakistan.
He followed this with a swashbuckling 106 against South Africa and a composed half century in the NatWest series final against the same team at Lord's.
