<p>CARDIFF, Wales &mdash; Cardiff midfielder Rubin Colwill was included in Wales’ European Championship squad on Sunday after just 191 minutes of senior football.</p>
<p>The 19-year-old Colwill was the surprise name in the final 26-man squad captained by Gareth Bale and containing the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Daniel James, Ethan Ampadu and Joe Rodon.</p>
<p>“He’s been a breath of fresh air since he’s come in,” Wales caretaker manager Robert Page said about Colwill. “He’s really impressed me, he’s got a presence and maybe something we’ve not got in the middle of the park."</p>
<p>There are eight survivors from the group which reached the Euro 2016 semifinals in France — Bale, Ramsey, Ben Davies, Chris Gunter, Danny Ward, Joe Allen, Jonny Williams and Wayne Hennessey.</p>
<p>But it is the selection of Colwill, who began the season playing academy football and did not make his senior Cardiff debut until February, that will raise the eyebrows.</p>
<p>Colwill has made just six Cardiff appearances, with just over three hours under his belt in the second-tier Championship for Mick McCarthy’s Bluebirds.</p>
<p>Wales plays its opening match against Switzerland in Baku on June 12. Italy and Turkey are also in Group A.</p>
