Averaging 13 with the bat in his first ICC Trophy season, this increased in 1994, as Forrester scored his first of two half-centuries in the competition. Though he suffered from poor form in the 1997 competition, he was back to form in 2001, scoring one half century on his way to a solid average of just over 25. Forrester appeared with the Argentines in the 2004 Americas Championship, playing five games and once again, scoring a single half-century.
Forrester has been an upper-middle order batsman throughout over 15 years of competition.
