In the meantime, Ward is focused on continuing to help his native island out in Nairobi.
Jersey have lost just one of their 12 ICC Challenge League matches – the six-team round-robin event sees sides come together once a year for three years to play each other, with the top two progressing to the next stage of Cricket World Cup qualification.
And while Jersey’s batters have impressed – Zak Tribe has hit 215 runs while his brother, Glamorgan batter Asa, has chipped in with 95 – Ward has been the pick of Jersey’s bowling attack.
“It’s been coming out of the hand quite nicely to say the least,” he added.
“I’ve definitely bowled better for less and I’ve definitely bowled worse for more, maybe not five-fers in a row, that’s almost unheard of in some aspects, but I’m very, very happy with where my cricket is at the moment.
“It’s not just one person – I may have got five wickets in this game, but our batters put on an unbelievable score, our other bowlers put on a lot of pressure, and to have Jake Dunford behind the stumps the way he is, he’s an unbelievable wicketkeeper.
“For me, at the top of my mark, I feel like if I get anywhere near the batter’s bat or if they even think about leaving their crease, they’ve got no chance with him behind the stumps.
“So it’s a good little team within a team that we have there, but for me personally, it feels like it’s coming out quite well and we’ll see how it goes – you can only play what’s in front of you.”
