Peter Shilton’s 125 caps were the most of any England international for 36 years until Kane matched it last month.
“I’ve had the record for a long time so it’s been the norm but records are there to be beaten,” former goalkeeper Shilton told FIFA.
“Really, I couldn’t think of anyone better than Harry [to beat it] not only because of his football record but also the type of person that he is. He’s been a great professional and has an impeccable CV.”
The Bayern Munich striker is also his country’s top scorer with 91 goals.
Kane, aged 33, has recently signed a new three-year contract with Bayern and could further extend his England cap record on Sunday if he plays against Spain.
