The 22-year-old batter made headlines for his sublime run-scoring last summer and explained that keeping things simple was key to the feat.

In an interview with The Times newspaper, Tribe said: "It just clicked. I kept everything very simple. It can obviously be a complicated game where you can spend all the time thinking, 'Am I holding the bat right? Are my trigger movements right?' But at the end of the day you have to watch the ball.

"The season before I had lots of starts, twenties and thirties, and it made me so hungry for runs. At the start of the year I was just seeing the ball so nicely and I just had a belief that every time I went out there I could get a hundred."

Tribe has a busy year ahead as he has been selected to play for the Welsh Fire in franchise tournament The Hundred but admits that he is disappointed that he won't get the chance to play any one-day cricket this year.

He said: "I love 50-over cricket. If we want England to be the world's best at 50-over cricket we can't not play it.

"It requires skills from all formats of cricket. You have to have T20 skills to bowl and bat at the death. You have to have red-ball skills to challenge both edges of the bat as a bowler and absorb pressure as a batsman but also use the powerplay and be good against spin in the middle.

"It encompasses all aspects of cricket and it's a shame we don't get to play more of it."

Tribe is confident that he can repeat last year's heroics as he embarks on another County Championship with Glamorgan.

He explained: "The player I was last year is a much weaker version of the player I am now, just because of the six months I've had away in the winter (with England Lions in Australia). So I've got full confidence that I'll have another successful year."
