And while Clarke is looking forward to the occasion, he maintains that his team are not there to simply make up the numbers.

Speaking to BBC Sport, he said: "You know what you are up against and it is good to be in that first game. 

"For us, we need to make sure it is not about the occasion and about the match and we look forward to it.

"It did not matter who we got as it was always going to be exciting for us.

"The aim is to be competitive in every match and respect every opponent. I was actually thinking I was quite hungry as the draw happened!"
