SHANE Watson is not interested in the past, or the present. He wants to be part of a brighter future.
The appointment of Darren Lehmann as coach has drawn a line under the unsavoury claims from sacked coach Mickey Arthur that captain Michael Clarke and then vice-captain Watson did not get along.
"I've been trying to put all that behind me," Watson said as Australia go into the fourth Test in Durham 2-0 down.
Leaked documents from Arthur's unfair dismissal claim against Cricket Australia said that Clarke had described Watson as a "cancer" in the team.
"Honestly, it didn't particularly worry me too much because it's something that has happened in the past and I don't care what has happened in the past," Watson said.
"In the end, things that were in and around the team through that period of time of about a year (ago) certainly weren't that great through that period of time but, as I said, this is an exciting time for me in my cricket career to be able to have Darren Lehmann doing an amazing job of bringing everyone together.
"For me it is the most enjoyable time I've had within the Australian team for a long, long time."
Watson admits that missing the third Test against India in Mohali after being suspended as one of four players involved in the infamous homework scandal was one of the low points of his career.
"For me, in the end, I really honestly don't care about what has happened in the past at all," Watson said.
"As I've said before, the period of time through what happened in India was certainly a low point in my career and I'm very happy to leave that behind because I'm extremely excited about the things that we're doing now."
Watson insisted there was no difference in the relationship between he and Clarke.
"All we do is come together to try and help out Australian cricket as much as we can within the team and within the whole structure, so things haven't changed," he said.
"I think myself and Michael, as we always have, we've got along well, we know what we need to do within the team to get the best out of everyone."
