Sussex's Matt Prior, 23, is a hard hitting wicket-keeper/batsman who has a proven record at making big scores.
He has 11 first-class centuries to his name, including a match-winning 100 against Lancashire in 2003, propelling Sussex to win the County Championship.
His clean driving could pay dividends on the wickets of the sub-continent and former national academy director Rod Marsh is said be a keen admirer.
Not the greatest gloveman, but showed signs of improvement in 2005.
FORM GUIDE
He was given a taste of India on the 2004 England A tour, where he featured in one notable partnership with Kevin Pietersen (hiitting 81 in a stand of 182).
Prior scored 852 runs at an average of 37 during the 2004 County Championship. He was unable to match that last summer but enjoyed a productive Totesport League campaign as Sussex won the Division Two title.
Used as an opening batsman while Geraint Jones took the gloves in the one-day series in Pakistan, scoring a modest 94 in five innings.
