Collingwood, 34, said, "One reason I retired from Test cricket was to prolong the one-day side of things and I still feel I have major contributions to make".

I'm still the Twenty20 captain. I want to continue that as well. It's not in my mind to even think about things like this (my future).

I see things developing very much how the Twenty20 did last year in the West Indies. We scraped through the group stages, but once we did we really put our performances together and went on to win it.

We really need to focus on getting this complete game. You put the whole thing together, and we're a formidable team. We want to do that against the West Indies."

Collingwood said the World Cup schedule, that serious Ashes in Australia and one-day campaign followed their heels to show there was no excuse yet.

"It's not ideal having two huge series or tournaments together, it's like having two Olympics in the same winter. But we can't make that as an excuse. "We have to beat the West Indies. It's not all over for us and if we can win four games on the trot we can win the World Cup."
