Ravi Bopara eyeing England recall

Bopara has not played a Test for his country since the fourth match of the 2009 Ashes series, in which England were beaten by an innings and 80 runs.
Having been axed from the side, the 25-year-old has so far been unable to force his way back in, with Eoin Morgan leapfrogging him by being handed a chance to play in front of fans with Test match tickets
Despite this, Bopara has revealed he is not giving up hope of winning the recall that he so desperately seeks.
Having impressed for England Lions, the all-rounder said it could be the platform he needs to springboard him back into the first XI.
"I want to get back in the senior team and, in the past, players who have performed for the Lions can get tracked straight into the first team," he commented.
