Stoke skipper Ryan Shawcross has been urged by former boss Tony Pulis to switch his international allegiance and play for Wales. The 27-year-old centre-back has made just one appearance for England in the 4-2 defeat to Sweden, but as that was only a friendly he is still eligible to represent the country for whom he played as a schoolboy.
"I'm convinced he should be in the England squad and if that's not going to happen then my attentions would be turned to crossing the border," the former Potters boss told The Sentinel.
"If England don't think he's good enough, Wales certainly do. I know that for a fact. He would be joining a Wales team with a genuine chance of qualifying for Euro 2016, so there's some big games to be had if he made that choice."
