I made my England debut when I was 17, against India. I was the first Asian to play for the England women's team, and I did have mixed feelings playing against the country my parents are from but I was born and bred in England and I've always known I wanted to play for my country.

Isa Guha

I guess making my debut outside of England would have been a bit more difficult but it was nice to debut somewhere that you're familiar with.

Jofra Archer

I didn't see myself playing regularly at right-back for Manchester United or making my England debut in that position.

Chris Smalling

I was just 17 when I made my debut for Lancashire against Hampshire at Portsmouth. I got seven and a duck. I didn't get a wicket, either. Funnily enough, it was more nerve-wracking than playing for England.

Andrew Flintoff

When I was setting out as a kid, five, six, seven years old, England was a dream. One of my best days as a player was my England debut - but it didn't quite happen after that!

Michael Carrick

I made my England debut against Japan in 2013. Hope Powell, our manager at the time, always demanded the best. She had quite a stern approach... She'd look at you over her glasses sometimes.

Lucy Bronze

I remember my England debut, in 2002. It came in Jersey, in a triangular tournament with New Zealand and India. To say that it did not generate great local interest is putting it mildly: our first game, against India, attracted a handful of spectators.

Isa Guha

You only get one chance of an England debut.

Alan Shearer

Making my England debut was a massive achievement.

Danny Ings

It was relief really, to know that I have scored on my England debut.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Paul Scholes should be included in England's Euro 2012 squad.

Harry Redknapp

I don't know why I chose to make my debut with 'Dil Maange More.' The film had three leading ladies - Tulip Joshi, Ayesha Takia and me - opposite Shahid Kapoor. I was fresh to Bollywood at that time because I had just come back from England and had no clue about hero-heroine dynamics in India.

Soha Ali Khan

I've played for England, played in the Olympics and made my Premier League debut.

Jack Butland

I'm very British at heart. When I come to England, I say I'm coming home, and then it's funny: when I leave England to go back to L.A., I also say I'm going back home.

Lily Collins

As long as I get an opportunity, with my ability, I can do well. My England debut was an opportunity for me to show that, and I was really happy with how I did.
