Watson excited about playing in Champions League

Senior batsman Watson,however,said that he knows a few people who can take up the challenge but refrained from disclosing their names.

8220;I got a few people in mind who I think will do a brilliant job and have got exactly what the team needs but I am not going to single out any individual because I8217;ll get myself in trouble,8221; he said.

8220;I can8217;t really say exact names but there8217;s no doubt that there is a big opportunity in Australian cricket at the moment8230; it is an exciting phase.

8220;Obviously,we haven8217;t had the greatest couple of years,especially in Test cricket but if we get the perfect person for the job,we can turnaround things,8221; added Watson,who is here to play in the Champions League Twenty20 CLT20.

The Australia vice-captain,who will represent NSW against Cape Cobras in the Twenty20 event tomorrow,said although he didn8217;t have a successful Test series in Sri Lanka recently,especially with the bat,it would have little bearing on his performance in this tournament.

8220;I8217;ve played a lot in the subcontinent,especially in India and had quite a bit of success here. I8217;ve played in Chennai as well and had some good performances here,8221; Watson insisted.

8220;This is my first T20 game for NSW and I am excited. I8217;ve watched the Champions League for the last few years.

Hopefully,we can have a very successful campaign.8221;

The all-rounder was also confident that NSW,who has fielded a relatively young and inexperienced team in the tournament,would do a great job in the event.

8220;We8217;re very lucky to have a lot of young talents coming through as well as some experienced guys like Stuart Clarke,Simon Katich and myself. I think its a brilliant mix,8221; Watson said.

8220;NSW continue to produce outstanding young players and some of these young guys like Mitchell Starc,Josh Hazlewood,Pat Cummins,Phil Hughes and David Warner are very,very talented,8221; he added.
