Prior’s England Test spot safe?

Question

Matt Prior has been left out of England’s 15-man squad for the World Twenty20. Is the wicketkeeper/batsman’s place in the Test side safe?

Answer 1

It should be. Prior is a solid middle order batsman more suited to the five-day game than Craig Kieswetter at this stage. Alastair Cook has also told BBC Sport that: “It's going to take a huge amount of effort to knock him [Prior] out of the team."
