Tottenham midfielder Scott Parker is happy being one of the elder statesmen of the England squad.

In terms of international experience, Parker is still a relative rookie.

"It is clear to see there are a lot of very good young players coming in," he said. "People talk about my age, but you could probably include me in that.

"I haven't got a lot of experience at international level. I am 30 and one of the oldest in the squad, but I am new to this as well."
