Steven Gerrard has been named captain of England team heading to face Switzerland in a friendly match at the Wembley stadium tomorrow. The Liverpool captain will lead England for the first time in his career. Gerrard played three matches as the deputy of John Terry, who was the captain of England during the Steve McClaren’s reign in England national team. However, John Terry failed to make it to the Fabio Capello’s first squad in charge due to injury.

Sky Sports reported:

"I have just informed my team before coming to see you that tomorrow's captain against Switzerland will be Steven Gerrard," said Capello.

"I have done it because I think he is an important player for England, according to my plans. He will be captain for this match."

I think, Gerrard is the right person for the role as he has experience of leading a team in the club stage. However, Capello appointed him only for this match. Earlier, he expressed his wish to go though an experiment giving the role to several persons in order to find out the appropriate man to lead England in world cup qualifying round. Now, let us see if Steven Gerrard proves his worth as a captain and becomes the right person to lead England in world cup qualifying matches that will begin from September.
