Ex-Bayern Munich midfielder Dietmar Hamann thinks it's a "big ask" for Harry Kane to feature in the 2030 World Cup at 36 years old. Hamann believes Kane, who recently turned 33, has played many games early in his career and might not reach the longevity of Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Despite this, Kane is only four caps from Peter Shilton's England appearance record.
