Sussex head coach Mark Robinson has revealed that wicketkeeper Matt Prior is eager to return to the England fold when he recovers from injury.

The 32-year-old was not awarded a new contract with the England and Wales Cricket Board due to an Achilles injury, which recently required surgery.

"Matt is a driven, hard man who has got a lot of medals and a lot of scars as well," Robinson told BBC Sussex. "The danger is when you look too far ahead but a bloke on a mission and with a dream is quite dangerous."

Prior will not be involved in the 2014-15 season at an international level.
