I&#39;ll reassess from there,&quot; Watson told cricket.com.au on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But for now, the 34-year-old has a golden opportunity to bow out of the international arena by winning the one global trophy that has eluded Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;There&#39;s no doubt to win the T20 World Cup, we came very close in 2010 making the final, so that certainly would be an incredible thing to be a part of,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;At this point in time I&#39;m still just living the dream with the cricket that I&#39;m able to play and the teams I&#39;m able to play in. I&#39;m not sure where that&#39;s going to take me in the short term. At the moment I&#39;m loving the opportunity of being back in the Australian squad and hopefully we can win the T20 World Cup.&rdquo;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Watson added they have given themselves the best chance of winning the trophy because of the talented squad that is available to them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We&#39;ve got a bit of improvement to go and more consistency in how we&#39;re playing to give ourselves that chance, but we&#39;ve got the talented squad here to be able to give ourselves the best chance,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Agency<\/strong><br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
