Chelsea defender Gary Cahill accepts he has a senior role to play for England.
For victory over Norway, he took the armband when Wayne Rooney was substituted at Wembley, suggesting he is now second in command and Cahill knows he must now lead by example.
He said: "For this next qualifying campaign there's going to be more of an onus on me to be more of a leader, to try and show my experience.
"Even though I'm only in the middle of my career, I feel quite old in the squad.
"I've taken on a lot from those experienced players who have stepped away from the set-up but I haven't necessarily had to step forward much in the past because they were always there.
"So there's added pressure on me and the other senior players to step up. We need to start building again. We're only human - it was a big knock not to qualify out of the group stage at the World Cup and we have to regroup, rebuild and go again."
