Stoke City boss Mark Hughes feels Peter Crouch still has something to offer England after their 4-1 win at Aston Villa.
Crouch was one of many Stoke players to star in Sunday's 4-1 victory at Aston Villa.
The 6ft 7in frontman set Peter Odemwingie up for Stoke's first goal and also got himself on the scoresheet as Stoke claimed their first away win since August.
"He has given us a focal point, and his link up play was brilliant today," the Stoke manager said of Crouch, who has nine goals to his name this term.
"He is an international-class player, he has proven that at international level.
"He has a great record for England. Maybe the people in charge are looking for a similar type of player as effective as Pete.
"Maybe his time has come and gone, but if he was asked to go I am sure he would go.
"If anyone rang me up and wanted a view on whether or not I think Peter should go to the World Cup, I can obviously give them a very positive one."
