Asked whether his century had helped his captaincy ambitions, Strauss replied: "I don't know. Both the Twenty20 and one-day captaincy are being revisited at the end of this series so the selectors will have their views on that.
"It's good for me to show I've still got some form in one-day cricket but I think it's wrong to look too far ahead at this stage. Let's get the series over and done with and I think things will be clearer at the end of it."
The impressive innings, which was only overshadowed by Shivnarine Chanderpaul's match-winning 112 for West Indies, will at least have silenced the doubters who say that he cannot play international one-day cricket.
Strauss chose to bat as an opener for this series, and said: "I'm looking to play my natural game as much as possible and bat for 40-odd overs minimum - that's my role and we've got plenty of shot-makers around me. Ravi Bopara is a very exciting shot-maker at the top of the order and our middle order is very strong.
"If you've got someone there batting through I think that gives you a good chance of getting a workable score on these wickets."
Guyana-born Shivnarine Chanderpaul claimed the man-of-the-match award for his 10th one-day international century, which was his first in his homeland.
"It was extremely special for me to score a hundred here," he said. "It was really good, especially in front of a big crowd like that. Everybody was out there supporting me, and they always give me a good reception."
