Matt Prior
Who is Matt Prior?
Matt Prior is a former England wicketkeeper-batsman, three-times Ashes winner and Test vice-captain.
What are Matt Prior’s main achievements?
Matt Prior made an immediate impact on his Test debut in 2007, scoring a century at Lord’s against the West Indies and becoming the first England wicketkeeper to score a hundred on debut. He went on to play 79 Tests for England and was named a Wisden Cricketer of the Year before being appointed Test vice-captain.
Matt’s England career spanned three Ashes victories in 2009, 2010-11 in Australia and at home in 2013, and he was part of the side that reached the top of the world Test rankings. His path was not a straightforward one: dropped during his early career over concerns about his keeping, he overhauled that part of his game and forced his way back into the side, a journey that shapes much of what he speaks about today.
What kind of topics does Matt Prior cover at events?
- Cricket – Matt draws on more than a decade at the top of international cricket to offer audiences an insider’s view of what elite performance looks like from the inside.

The fee normally includes a keynote speech, as well as Q&A and meet and greet, but we can tailor the package to your needs and budget. Travel and accommodation for the speaker are normally charged separately but can be arranged by us.

Each speaker has their own booking preferences. If you are looking to hire a renowned figure, we recommend booking 9-12 months before your event. If your dates are flexible, it’s often possible to arrange something on shorter notice. While we can accommodate bookings at any time, booking at least 3 months in advance ensures a smoother process and allows time to meet all your requirements.
