Australian bowler Clint McKay said that the team is feeling upbeat and can't wait to take on England in their first group match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013.

McKay said that they took that match as a warm-up and have not lost confidence. He went on to say that Australia were in the tournament to win it for the third time.

Asked about Australia's first match against England, he said that it would be a big match given the way the groups have shaped up.

McKay also rued Michael Clarke's injury woes and hoped to have him back in the side as soon as possible.

He also refused to link this to the upcoming Ashes and said that the side was in England to win the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 for now.
