Australian pace bowler Mitchell Starc is completely focused on the ICC T20 World Cup in October-November this year and sees the 10 T20Is lined up over the next month as a great "opportunity" to play the role of the central figure for his team.

"It's a great opportunity for the group to start preparing with a bit more focus on that World Cup," said Starc who also wants to give himself the "best chance" to play Test cricket for his country when Australia take on Afghanistan and then play the Ashes.
