England goalkeeper Joe Hart admits he would 'do anything' to earn his first full international cap against Trinidad & Tobago on Sunday.

Manchester City shot-stopper Hart is expected to start between the sticks for England in Port of Spain as manager Fabio Capello names an experimental first XI.

Hart missed out as England defeated USA 2-0 at Wembley on Wednesday, but the 21-year-old is hopeful he gets the nod at the weekend.

"It would be unbelievable," Hart told Sky Sports News when asked about the prospect of making his full international debut.

"I would never have seen myself doing this a week ago, let alone at the start of the season.

Delight

"I would do anything to be a part of it. But at the same time, if I don't, I won't be too disappointed.

"I do really want to be a part of it some day and hopefully get a taste of it."

And Hart has also sounded his delight at Capello's training methods after being put through his paces by the Italian.

"We have come out here to do a job," added Hart. "We are not out here for anything else.

"We trained as we would do for any game. It was intense, but is enjoyable at the same time and is bringing the squad together."
