Aussies eyeing nothing less than title: Starc

Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc on Sunday asserted that they can defy their recent slide in the shortest format and win the T20 World Cup since they are going into the tournament full-strength. Australia have just six wins from their last 21 games in T20 cricket and have lost five consecutive series—against England, India, New Zealand, the West Indies and Bangladesh.

“It’s a huge positive 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 told reporters. In the six past editions of the T20 World Cup, Australia have reached the final only once—in 2010 when they lost to England.

“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 left-arm pacer.
