Stoke City striker Peter Crouch has said that he "does not carry much hope" of playing for England again.<br /><br />Crouch has not featured for his country since November 2010 and was not in the squad that travelled to Montenegro.<br /><br />When asked if Wayne Rooney's ban would increase his chances of selection, he told BBC Radio Stoke: "I wouldn't say so, I don't carry much hope.<br /><br />"I go into each game with Stoke to play as well as I can and if the England call comes, that would be fantastic."<br /><br />The 30-year-old continued: "I've felt like I've always done well for England and I feel like I've been doing well for Stoke, so of course it's disappointing [not to be selected in the England squad].<br /><br />"I'll get on with playing for Stoke because I'm really enjoying it. If the call comes then great, but if not, I'm happy where I am."<br /><br />Crouch has scored twice in six appearances for the Potters since his record £10m move from Tottenham on transfer deadline day.<br /><br />The last of his 22 international goals and 42 appearances for the national team came as a substitute in a 2-1 friendly defeat by France at Wembley in November 2010.<br /><br />Since then, he has been selected in several squads by England coach Fabio Capello, but has not been called upon to play.<br /><br />Rooney, who was sent off for kicking Miodrag Dzudovic in the 2-2 draw in Montenegro, will find out the extent of his suspension on Thursday.<br /><br />He is definitely banned for the first match of Euro 2012 and could see his ban extended by Uefa.<br /><br />/football on Youtube brings you the latest football news, transfer rumours and footballing gossip from the English Premier League and European Champions League.
