England's Test cricketer Matt Prior has claimed that both, Ashes glory and his new cycling team One Pro clinching the Tour de France in the next decade, would be colossal achievements.

Prior insisted that it was like saying which of ones two children does a person love the most when he was quizzed about what would he prefer, Ashes glory or One Pro winning Tour de France.

The former wicketkeeper-batsman was quizzed if he his new cycling tem One Pro to win the Tour de France in the next decade, or whether he would get fit again, re-establish himself in the England set-up and score an Ashes-winning ton, Gulf News reported.

Prior claimed that he couldn't pick between the two, adding that both would be colossal achievements.

Prior is currently at a critical juncture in his career. The 32-year-old South Africa-born cricketer has theoretically still plenty to achieve in cricket.

However, Prior's cricketing career might well end due to a reconstructive surgery on a huge Achilles tendon tear while he was in his early 30s.

So, Prior might have ventured in to cycling and having become the CEO of One Pro he insists that he is hugely serious about it.

Prior, however, claims that to play in an Ashes is a great felling one can have as a cricketer. He insisted that he is still a long way off, but added that both would be absolutely incredible.

Prior said that he would aim for both, get back, score an Ashes-winning hundred and then win the Tour de France.
