Matt Prior is no stranger to gruelling conditions - particularly after keeping in the incredible heat of Sri Lanka - but even he needs extra training as he bids to raise much needed funds for the Chestnut Tree House charity.

Matt will be cycling the South Downs Way with England wicketkeeping coach Bruce French, and in doing so will be raising money for the charity which provides care and support for terminally ill children and their families.

ECB.CO.UK caught up with Matt to see how his training was progressing, and to discover the reasons behind the challenge.
