Summer heat ‘won’t be a factor’ for England at World Cup - Harry Kane

England captain Harry Kane expressed confidence that the anticipated high temperatures during the World Cup will not hinder the team's performance. Kane, who is in exceptional form, having scored his 67th goal for club and country this season, stated that the squad has undergone sufficient preparation to adapt to the conditions.

“

To be honest, I don’t think the heat’s been too bad.

Despite admitting the pitch was "a bit sticky" during a recent match against New Zealand, where England secured a 1-0 victory, Kane feels the concerns about the heat have been exaggerated. "To be honest, I don’t think the heat’s been too bad," he said, noting that the team has been training in similar environments for days. "We’re all professional athletes. We all have done the right preparation to get ready for this tournament."

“

We’re all professional athletes. We all have done the right preparation to get ready for this tournament between us and the staff as well.

Kane emphasized his pride in captaining England and leading the team into another World Cup. He feels he is in the best form of his career and is eager for the tournament to begin. England is set to face Croatia, their 2018 semifinal opponents, in their opening match on June 17 in Dallas.

Playing for England is my favourite thing to do.
