Stoke City striker Peter Crouch says that he wants to play for England once again.

Stoke City striker Peter Crouch has admitted that he is willing to play for the England national team once again.

The 31-year-old is eager to make amends with coach Roy Hodgson after snubbing his offer to feature for the Three Lions in pre-Euro 2012 friendly internationals against Norway and Belgium.

"It wasn't a case of being a standby," Crouch is quoted as saying in The Daily Mail. "He wanted me to play in one of the friendlies and then go home.

"I'll be honest, I was bitterly disappointed not to be in the squad for the Euros and I think understandably so. We had a conversation but that should remain private between me and the manager.

"Of course, playing for my country is the best thing I've ever done in my career and I will never rule that out. If I get a chance again I'll grab it with both hands."

Crouch played for England at the 2006 and the 2010 World Cup finals.
