LIVEWIRE Lou Vincent says he would `absolutely love' to come back to play for Worcestershire if the chance arises in the future.
The New Zealand batsman feels Steve Rhodes' squad has huge potential and firmly believes promotion in both forms of the game this season is a real possibility.
He said: "I'd absolutely love to come back to Worcester in the future if the chance came along.
"I've got to know the boys and they've made me feel welcome straight away -- there is good banter in the team.
"New Road is an exciting place to play your domestic cricket because of the atmosphere at the ground.
"There is a great culture here and the confidence in this team is amazing.
"We've not had the performances lately, but it is a winning team and I can see promotions in the Championship and Pro40 for sure.
"There is real talent, class and motivation here. I think there is a great balance in the team because the young are learning off the old.
"Steve Davies shows a lot of talent with the bat and the gloves and, the way he is going, he is going to be good enough. It is just a case of getting the numbers behind him.
"Gareth Batty is the sort of player you need in your team -- he gets you fired up when times are tough and takes the ball in his hand and does the hard yards.
"The coach (Steve Rhodes) is well-organised and tight-disciplined, but he still praises you when you do well.
"I think there are some very talented cricketers playing around England and to play with the likes of Vikram Solanki and Graeme Hick makes for an interesting style of cricket."
The 27-year-old freely admits he hasn't scored as many runs as he would have liked during his time at New Road.
But he hopes to deliver some big scores before he makes way for the returning Phil Jaques at the end of this month.
He added: "Being honest, I don't think I have got the runs and performances I would have wanted so far during my time at Worcestershire.
"A couple of times I have got the ball rolling for the boys though.
"I marked my Championship debut with two ducks against Gloucestershire, which was not the best way to start.
"But I have got a couple of games up my sleeve still, so it would be nice to pump a score onto the board.
"With my dismissal against Gloucestershire in the Pro40, I look at it as a case of `what goes around comes around'.
"In the past I've nicked a couple and been given not out, so I think these things tend to balance each other out.
"But I was a bit gutted because those are the times you want to kick on and get a big score and make a hundred for the team.
"I haven't bowled for years, but one of my goals has been to work on my bowling and be able to chip in with four or five overs in the one-day games and ten to 15 in the four-day matches."
