Alan Shearer has questioned why Harry Kane is taking England's corners, comparing the tactic to Lewis Hamilton having to change his own tyres.
Roy Hodgson's side were held to a 1-1 draw in their opening Euro 2016 match in Marseille, with captain Vasili Berezutski salvaging a last-gasp draw for Russia after Eric Dier had put England in front.
All six of England's corners in the game were taken by Kane - the Tottenham striker who scored 27 goals in all competitions last season.
With other players such as Adam Lallana and Wayne Rooney seemingly more suited to the job, Kane's continued presence on set-pieces concerns ex-England striker Shearer.
"He is England's No 1 centre-forward and one of our best headers of a ball. So why on earth is Roy Hodgson asking him to take corners? It is like asking Lewis Hamilton to change his own tyres," he wrote in the Sun.
"Kane is well within his rights to pull Roy Hodgson to one side in training this week and say, 'I don't think I should be taking corners - I want to be in the box getting on the end of them'.
"Why can't Wayne Rooney or Adam Lallana take them? Let's be honest, if you are a midfielder playing for England and you have not got the ability to take a corner, you should not be on the pitch."
