England
There are no late surprises as Scott Parker, Danny Welbeck and Glen Johnson retained their places despite recent injury scares.
And Carroll, who struggled for large periods with Liverpool this season before rediscovering some form towards the back end of the season, was given the much sought-after number nine slot.
On Monday, Gareth Barry was ruled out of the tournament in Poland and Ukraine after suffering a tear to his lower abdomen in the 1-0 friendly win against Norway over the weekend.
Everton defender Phil Jagielka was called up as his replacement after manager Roy Hodgson said he would "re-configure" his squad should the Manchester City midfielder miss out.
John Ruddy was the only other casualty with the Norwich goalkeeper, who would have been third choice at the championship, being ruled out due to a broken finger and replaced by Birmingham rookie Jack Butland.
