<p>England manager Roy Hodgson included Chelsea's John Terry, Liverpool striker Andy Carroll and Norwich City goalkeeper John Ruddy in a 23-man squad with Steven Gerrard named as captain on Wednesday for next month's European Championship. <br /><br /></p>.<p>Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand was left out but his club team-mate Wayne Rooney was included despite missing the first two matches of the tournament through suspension. Strikers Andy Carroll and Jermain Defoe have also made the list. <br /><br />Defender Terry is in the squad despite losing the England captaincy in February after being sent to a trial on July 9 charged with racially abusing Queens Park Rangers defender and Ferdinand's brother Anton. He has pleaded not guilty. <br /><br />Ruddy, who is due to get married on June 2, could barely contain his surprise at the inclusion on the back of a superb first Premier League season with Norwich City. "It hasn't sunk in yet but I'm absolutely over the moon," he told ‘Sky Sports’. "It was quite surreal. I can't wait to get started. It just caps off a wonderful couple of years I've had at Norwich." <br />The 25-year-old, who along with Arsenal teenager Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are the only uncapped players in the squad, has been given special leave by the FA to marry his partner Laura on the day England play Belgium in a friendly at Wembley. <br /><br />England face Norway in Oslo in a warm-up game on May 26 when Hodgson makes his debut as manager before they face Belgium at Wembley Stadium. <br /><br />The squad: Goalkeepers: Joe Hart, Robert Green, John Ruddy. Defenders: Ashley Cole, John Terry, Glen Johnson, Phil Jones, Leighton Baines, Joleon Lescott, Gary Cahill. Midfielders: Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Scott Parker, Gareth Barry, James Milner, Stewart Downing, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ashley Young. Forwards: Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck, Andy Carroll, Jermain Defoe.</p>
