After smashing a 65-ball century for Tasmania against Victoria in the JLT One-Day Cup, out-of-favour wicketkeeper-batsman Matthew Wade wants a seat in the flight to England and Wales for the 2019 World Cup.

"I'd love to play at the World Cup and that's something I'm striving towards," he told cricket.com.au. "I was disappointed to get dropped from the one-day team (last year), I thought I'd put some pretty solid years together.

"Others will get their chances ... I think Alex Carey is going to be a terrific cricketer, but I feel like I'm playing as well as anyone in the country at the moment.

"I hear a lot of talk about players making hundreds and in one-day cricket I've made plenty of hundreds, probably more than most wicketkeeper-batters in the country. So if they want to pick me, I'm ready to go."

"Where the wicketkeeper is going to bat, I feel like I've got the power to bat in that position."

"I'm really comfortable with where I'm at outside cricket," said Wade. "I'd absolutely walk away satisfied with what I've done at the next level."

"I just don't want to walk away giving up all hope and cruising through the last three or four years of my career. I want to make sure I give it every crack.

"Whether I get picked or not, it didn't faze me too much. I don't wake up every morning wanting to get picked for the Australian cricket team. I just want to be as good a player as I can be."
