Paul Collingwood hopes winning domestic stints in Australia and India can help him force his way backside into England's limited-overs side.
Collingwood, who retire from Tests after the Ashes last winter, last played for his country during the World Cup in March and believe he, can still be part of the ODI and Twenty20 teams.
England's selectors moved resolutely towards youth over the summer, blooding a handful of talented young players but Collingwood's aims to make his case with spells in the Big Bash, with Perth Scorchers, follow by the Indian Premier League, where he represent Delhi Daredevils.
"I still have the goal to play one-day and T20 for my country," Collingwood said.
"If I have a actually good six months you never know what can happen. I'll be out in Australia for six or seven weeks playing next to some of the world's best cricketers then playing in the IPL.
"This is a thrilling opportunity for me. Although I'm 35 it is a fresh challenge. I'm looking forward to playing in the Big Bash, it's a big phase and that is where you want to be."
