Roy Hodgson has named Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard as his captain for England s Euro 2012 campaign.
John Terry, who is also included in the 23-man squad announced on Wednesday, was stripped of the armband in February, a decision that led to former Three Lions boss Fabio Capello to resign.
Gerrard has captained England on 15 previous occasions, first against Sweden in March 2004 and, the last time against Switzerland in September 2010.
