Jonathan Trott has claimed that the prospect of facing Australia again is driving him on in his bid for an England recall.
The 33-year-old has not played for England since leaving the 2013-14 Ashes series with a stress-related condition, but he is in contention to return to the Test squad after travelling with the Lions to South Africa this winter.
"I'd love to play again. I wouldn't have gone on the Lions tour if I didn't want to play for England again. Whatever happens from here, if it happens, would be fantastic," Trott told The Guardian.
"I want to. I need to. I want to get back out there. It's not anything to do with one individual, it's not an agenda, I want to go out and score runs against Australia.
"You've got to be able to face [Ryan] Harris, [Mitchell] Starc, all the guys. I think Harris is a fantastic bowler, a better bowler than [Mitchell] Johnson even."
England return to the longest format when they tour the West Indies in April, before hosting New Zealand and Australia in the summer.
