The 33-year-old has been included in Northamptonshire's squad for the summer, funding himself independently.

"I really want to be part of the England set-up," left-armer Panesar told BBC Radio Northampton.

"If it doesn't happen then at least I tried my best. I'm confident I can bowl the way I used to bowl."

Panesar has been training at Wantage Road this winter while recovering from a shoulder injury.

"There's a sub-continent winter tour in Bangladesh and India which keeps me motivated and it's something I want to be part of.
