Mark retired from football in 2019 but continued to play in veterans tournaments, leading to his call-up.
England Veterans Over 50s have announced their squad for a match against the Republic of Ireland this weekend.
And Mark has been included in the 18-player line-up.
There will also be an Over 60s side playing Ireland on the same day.
They team wrote: "England Veterans have announced their squads for a double helping of international football against the Republic of Ireland on Sunday 1st November in Cambridgeshire.
