Prior featured in 79 Tests and 68 ODIs across a 10-year long career, scoring 3920 and 1282 runs in the respective formats. He was particularly effective with the bat in Tests as he provided depth to the English batting order which saw their team claim the number 1 ranking in 2011.

He scored a century on debut at Lord's against West Indies and went on to score six more in his Test career.
