Mitchell Starc on Sunday said that despite
Australia’s performance has been poor in the T20 format of cricket, they are
going in with full strength and confidence to win it.
Australia's performance in T20 has not been
good recently. As Australia has won only 6 matches out of 21 matches. They have lost matches to England, New Zealand, India, West Indies, and Bangladesh
in the last five series.
“We
had some really young, inexperienced players and some young guys playing their
first games of cricket for Australia come into some really foreign conditions
and thrown in the deep end really quickly,” Starc told reporters.
“We have had to navigate a few
difficulties, being back home for the guys that have been in lockdown in Sydney
or Melbourne or playing very little amount of cricket for their states”.
Starc
said that the fall of Australia’s top position in T20 to the seventh position
in ranking has nothing to do with T20 World Cup.
“It’s a hugely positive sign for us that we have got our
full-strength team here available to us for the World Cup. Obviously, we didn’t
have that through the West Indies and Bangladesh,” Starc said.
Mitchell said that our players are preparing for the T20
World cup in different ways as many of them played in the Indian Premier League
recently.
“Obviously we have had a few guys here in the IPL as well so
it’s a mixed bag of preparation for everyone. Some have been playing some
cricket, some have been trying to find ways to prepare for this tour.”
Australia reached the final in 2010 against England, since
then, they have not reached the final of any T20 World Cup.
“It’s
no secret that we haven’t won a T20 World Cup so I’m looking forward to
hopefully being a part of our first one,” Starc said.
“We have got our full-strength
team available … it’s up to us now. We have set out to win the World Cup. We
don’t want anything less,” said the 31-year-old.
Australia will play their debut match of the T20 World Cup against South Africa on October 23.
