MELBOURNE : Parma defender Alessandro Circati will play international soccer for Australia rather than Italy and has been named in the Socceroos' squad for a friendly against world champions Argentina in China next week.

His heart has told him and he believes that he wants to play for Australia."I said, 'OK, if I put you in this camp, are you ready?' And he said, '100 per cent'."
