Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney still has an international future into his 30s, despite being dropped for England's two June international matches, according to former Premier League rival Emile Heskey.
Heskey, 39, played for England at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa when he was 32 years old.
Rooney, who has earned 119 caps since 2003, will turn 32 before next year's World Cup in Russia. England manager Gareth Southgate says the door is still open for the Liverpool-born attacker, but he must secure regular first-team football.
