The on-loan Manchester City midfielder was handed the armband by boss Ben Futcher for only the second time, having led the Young Lions in their 1-1 draw with Poland in the U20s Elite League back in November.
Wright, who has represented England at every level since U17, made his sixth cap for the Elite Squad alongside City team mate Kellen Fisher, who also started the contest in their final game of the international period.
Manchester City striker Divin Mubama gave England the lead inside the opening 15 minutes, but Switzerland sparked a late comeback to put the Young Lions under severe pressure.
With 20 minutes to go, Tiemoko Ouattara found the net for the visitors, who completed a comeback when midfielder Johan Manzambi found the net soon after to put Switzerland ahead for the first time.
A dramatic stoppage-time equaliser from Sheffield United youngster Sydie Peck ensured that England prevented a defeat that would have halted their unbeaten record, which stretches back to the start of the 2024/25 campaign.
Wright played the entirety of the contest in Marbella, but Fisher was replaced by Genoa’s Brooke Norton-Cuffy on the hour mark. Both will now travel back to Norfolk to prepare for Saturday’s Championship clash against play-off chasing West Brom.
City boss Johannes Hoff Thorup made little secret of his desire to pursue a permanent deal for Wright. Part of the agreement that saw the midfielder join Norwich late on deadline day from the Premier League champions includes a buy option believed to be worth £2.3m with add-ons.
