Morley to captain England

6:29 am on 5 October 2010

The veteran prop Adrian Morley will captain England in rugby league's Four Nations series in Australia and New Zealand.

Morley takes over the captaincy from the injured Jamie Peacock and is one of four Warrington players.

Huddersfield provides the biggest contingent with six, including uncapped quartet Shaun Lunt, Leroy Cudjoe, Luke Robinson and Darrell Griffin.

Wigan have five players in the squad, including prop Stuart Fielden, who's been recalled after recapturing his form for the Warriors this season.

Fielden was rated the world's best forward when he completed a record STG450,000 move from Bradford four years ago but drifted into the international wilderness after the Tri-Nations Series later that year.

England's first test is against the Kiiws in Wellington on October 23.
