Roy Hodgson has named Harry Kane in his England squad to face Lithuania and Italy this month with the Spurs striker expected to make his senior international bow next week.

Kane's return of 26 goals in 42 matches has earned him a place in the 24-man party which also included Theo Walcott, Danny Welbeck and Daniel Sturridge, but there was no room for Charlie Austin, Saido Berahino or Danny Ings.

The Three Lions host Lithuania in a Euro 2016 qualifier at Wembley on Friday 27th March before travelling to Italy for a friendly on Tuesday 31st March.

Both matches will be shown live on ITV.
