England defender Gary Cahill has expressed pride at being named vice-captain to new skipper Wayne Rooney.
The Chelsea player took the armband when the Manchester United forward was substituted in England's recent wins over Norway and Switzerland and is honoured to have been chosen as one of Roy Hodgson's leaders.
"It's an ambition, but more of a dream, to captain your country," said Cahill.
"It's still an amazing feeling every time you put on an England shirt to go out to play.
In the next few years, whether Wayne's rested or injured, there might be an opportunity to captain the team. To know that is unbelievable.

"To have (the armband) for the short period of time in both games felt really good. It's something I'm really proud of and I'll relish."
On Chelsea's chances of success this season, the 28-year-old added: "We're confident we've got a good squad, like many other Premier League teams. But we're three games in. It's going to be tough.
"We've strengthened the team and we look good. But it's about consistency. Every single time you turn out in the Premier League, no game is easy."
