Sale Sharks winger Mark Cueto says that he doesn't hold much hope of receiving another England call-up but insists that he will not make himself unavailable.

Sale Sharks winger Mark Cueto has admitted that he is unlikely to ever pull on an England shirt again but he will never rule out a return.

The 32-year-old has not played for the national side since last year's World Cup quarter-final against France and doesn't expect to be called up again.

"I'm still available but I understand the situation, I'm slipping out gracefully," Cueto told BBC Radio Manchester. "You always hold a little light but you've got to be realistic. I know I'm not going to play for England again."

Cueto has 55 England caps to his name.
