The Melbourne City winger recently played three games for the green and gold in the 2018 Asian U-23 Championship Qualifiers in Japan and Bahrain.

Kenyan-born Kamau said in November last year his dream was to one day represent Australia when he migrated at just age four.

It isn’t unknown for players with few or no caps to get picked for a World Cup and Kamau said it was all about hitting top gear at the right time.

"It doesn't really matter how many (international) caps you have if you're playing well enough,” Kamau said.

"If you're playing well enough and you can do the job, then I don't see why there's any reason why you can't represent your country, even at a World Cup.

"That's obviously something any Australian player would be looking to do and I'm no different.”

Kamau also said breaking into Ange Postecoglou’s squad motivated him to have a strong A-League season.

The 22-year-old played 26 games and finished with seven assists and one goal with City after previously helping former club Adelaide United to their first A-League title.

City will play their first competitive game since last season’s finals, against Peninsula Power on Tuesday night in the FFA Cup Round of 32.

"You look at last season and you review yourself and you have your own goals,” he said.

"Stuff like that (Socceroos selection) is definitely something that's on my radar.”

City unveiled their new kit on Thursday which looks similar to Manchester City’s classic blue and white strip.

And while Kamau was an Arsenal supporter as a child, he said he liked the colours and that the material was light which suited the hot conditions.

The kit launch had the whole 2017/18 City squad mingling with club members while enjoying refreshments.

City have so far signed Scott Jamieson, Eugene Galekovic, Iacopo La Rocca and Stefan Mauk for his second stint.

Kamau said he could see how City were really trying to shift attitudes and standards for the rest of the league to follow.

“I think it’s a benchmark for other clubs - the facilities and the vision for how they want the club to be is what inspired me to come to the club,” Kamau said.

“It’s only going to grow, get bigger and better from here on in.

“Those guys (the new signings) have won an A-League championship before. I think that experience helps but also the ones that haven’t won it yet, that desire to win one is something that’ll play a part as well.”
