Stoke City captain Ryan Shawcross admits he needs to improve his form if he wants an England recall.

Shawcross' performances last season earned him a call-up to Fabio Capello's England squad, a standard he is striving to reach once more.

"I want to get back in the England squad and I think everyone knows it," Shawcross said.

"But I've got to show on the pitch that I'm good enough, so I need to start doing that."
