Italy have named their squad for the European Championships, deciding to leave out Domenico Criscrito.

The Zenit St Petersburg full-back was expected to be a first pick, but has been left out after being named as having possible involvement in match fixing.

Ezequiel Schelotto and Marco Verratti have also been cut from the squad as Italy have reduced their squad from 25.

The remainder of Cesare Prandelli's squad are experienced at major competitions, with four of the squad featuring in Italy's 2006 World Cup winning campaign.

Only three of the squad are based outside of Italy; PSG duo Thiago Motta and Salvatore Sirigu and Manchester City's Mario Balotelli.
