Portsmouth keeper David James is Sky Bet's 10/11 favourite to be England's number one on the day, Birmingham stopper Joe Hart is offered at 5/2 and West Ham's Robert Green is 3/1.
Sky Bet's football betting spokesman Tim Reynolds said: "Kirkland has missed a lot of chances to prove his credentials due to an on-going back problem and it would be a big surprise to see him taken out to South Africa over the likes of James, Hart or Green."
Kirkland's father and family friends placed bets of £100 each at 100/1 odds that he would play for England before the age of thirty, when he was only 11 years old and his appearance netted the syndicate £10,000 each when he appeared against Greece in 2006.
