Kane set to break England appearance record against Croatia

Harry Kane is set to become England men’s most capped player when he makes his 126th appearance against Croatia at Wembley. The milestone highlights his longevity and importance to the team, particularly given England’s limited tournament success for much of the period before his international debut in 2015.

Kane has made 36 appearances at major tournaments, the most by an Englishman, including a record 18 at the European Championship. He has played 26 more competitive matches than any other England men’s player, although comparisons across eras are complicated by changes to the international calendar. He has appeared in 81% of England’s possible matches during his international career, and his Bayern Munich contract runs until 2029.
