Tim Bresnan insists a good start to the domestic season with LV= County Championship holders Yorkshire could help him make a case for an England Test recall. Bresnan last played in the England whites during the 5-0 Ashes defeat in the winter of 2013/14, though in recent months he enjoyed a pre-World Cup training session with the squad in Australia and also turned out for the England Lions on their tour of South Africa. More importantly perhaps, the double Ashes-winner helped end Yorkshire's 13-year wait for a title last season, taking 30 wickets in 10 games at an average of 31.57 and making 95 against Nottinghamshire on the day the championship was clinched. Tim Bresnan is keen to give England's selectors no choice but to pick him with wickets and runs for Yorkshire . The right-arm quick last played in whites for England during the Ashes whitewash of winter 2013/14 . With New Zealand and Australia still to come this year, the Headingley faithful's belief of 'strong Yorkshire, strong England' is already showing good signs with six White Rose players currently on tour in the West Indies. Bresnan says: 'The only thing I can do is get runs and take wickets for Yorkshire' And when asked if he would like to make it number seven, Bresnan said, 'That's up to the selectors.' 'If I do get a load of wickets at the start of the season and get a few runs then I put my case forward, that's all I can do - then it's up to the selectors. 'Obviously, the only thing I can do is get runs and take wickets for Yorkshire. 'That's what I'm looking to do. Whatever happens after that we'll just let it play out. 'We're defending champions, so we're going to do our utmost to defend the title. 'If we play the consistent cricket we did last year - which we are capable of - we'll be there and thereabouts again.' Bresnan did take a step towards that good start on Wednesday, when he reached 400 first-class wickets during Yorkshire's game against Leeds-Bradford MCCU at Headingley. But regardless of his own selection, Bresnan is confident England can put in a good showing against New Zealand and Australia after a turbulent year that also included an early World Cup exit. 'I think we'll do well,' Bresnan said. 'I think they've got all the talent. Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale celebrates as Yorkshire beat Notts to win the 2014 LV County Championship . Yorkshire go to Worcestershire on Apil 14 for the first match of their four-day title defence . 'They just need to start implementing it, start applying that talent and playing good attacking cricket. They are very capable of doing it.' Bresnan did express his disappointment at England's tour matches against St Kitts and Nevis, where some of the Three Lions side have padded up for the hosts in a bid to give the bowlers a higher-quality challenge. 'Obviously, they've tried to make the best of a bad situation,' he said. 'It's very difficult when you go on tour and you don't get decent opposition to practice games. 'But at the end of the day there's nothing England can do about it.'
