England wicketkeeper Matt Prior says that the team let their standards drop during their Ashes series defeat in Australia.

Matt Prior has admitted that the England players let their standards slip during the recent Ashes series.

The tourists fell to a 5-0 whitewash at the hands of Australia, who reclaimed the urn for the first time in four years.

Wicketkeeper Prior believes that England allowed complacency to set in throughout the series.

"We let a few things slide. Little things like wearing the right kit, turning up to meetings on time, not five minutes late," he wrote in his column in The Telegraph.

"It all goes back to the dressing room and making sure that environment is right and on this tour I think we let it slip a bit.

"It is about the respect you have for your team-mates, coach and captain In any team you have to have strong values and beliefs and we need to start again and rediscover those before we can move forward."

Prior was replaced in the side by Jonny Bairstow for the final two Tests after he was ruled out of action with a calf injury.
