India are focused on making a strong start to their home test season and will not view their two-match series with Bangladesh merely as preparation for their tour of Australia later this year, skipper Rohit Sharma said on Tuesday.

England and Australia will be playing their respective first series after last year's World Cup and this will be the start of their preparation for the Champions Trophy. Apart from Pat Cummins, all the big boys are back for Australia while Buttler-less England have got a few of the Test guys back.
