England looks for wicketkeeper as Matt Prior out of action due to Achilles injury

Domestic England cricketer Craig Kieswetter or Steve Davies might return to Test cricket with the national side looking for a wicketkeeper as Matt Prior would be missing from action due to his Achilles injury.

England are reportedly thinking about turning to a wicketkeeper who did not tour with them in Australia and with Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler failing to instill enough confidence to be handed the Test team's gloves against Sri Lanka, the doors seem to open for Kieswetter or possibly Davies to return.

According to the Mirror, South African-born Somerset wicketkeeper Kieswetter, who last played for the national side in January 2013, is set to face tough competition from Surrey's wicket-keeper batsman Davies for the Test team job.

However, England Test and ODI captain Alastair Cook wants robust Prior to do the job, but the current wicketkeeper suffered a relapse in his injury last week and is currently battling to get to the field again and play, the report added.
