Yet he appears well aware he is far from a likely participant when England&rsquo;s four-match series gets under way against India in Ahmedabad on November 15. <img alt="Jonny Bairstow" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/nov/Bairstow.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 519px; " /> Bairstow in action vs Mumbai &lsquo;A&rsquo; at the DY Patil Stadium on Saturday. PIC/Atul Kamble The 23-year-old Yorkshireman&rsquo;s 118 was the bedrock of England&rsquo;s 338 for six on Day One of their second tour match against Mumbai &lsquo;A&rsquo; at the Dr DY Patil Stadium. Bairstow, Eoin Morgan (76) and the in-form Samit Patel (59 n o) did not disappoint as England recovered from a vulnerable 66 for four at lunchtime. &ldquo;You want to be one of the 11 guys who pulls on the shirt and represents England,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;But if at the end of the day the balance of side means you miss out, then so be it. You keep working hard, and if you&rsquo;re not selected spend the Test in the nets.&rdquo; He will not be sulking, if others are preferred. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d be pleased if I did get the call, but the balance of the team is the most important thing. I wouldn&rsquo;t say (I&rsquo;d feel) hard done by, because at the end of the day the team comes first,&rdquo; he said.u00a0

Jonny Bairstow on Saturday added his maiden first-class century for England to his 149 runs in the Lord's Test.
