Somerset batsman Nick Compton has insisted that he is confident of returning to the England Test squad this summer.
The 30-year-old played nine Tests for England before being dropped prior to last summer's Ashes series, but he believes that his ability to score runs consistently in county cricket could earn him a recall.
"I think everyone in the top three for their county will think they've got a good chance," Compton told reporters.
"Right now, I think I have as good a chance as anyone. I feel like I've done a good job over the last three years, I've been consistent and scored runs.
"I don't know if that's the whole criteria. There's a new regime coming in so they've got to decide what they're looking for."
Compton, who scored two centuries in the tour of New Zealand last year, averages 31.93 in Test cricket.
