Parker has not been part of England boss Fabio Capello’s plans since he was axed from the initial 30-man squad for this summer’s World Cup in South Africa.
“I think if you look at all the English midfielders, with respect to others, there is no doubt that Scott, from the beginning of the season, has been the best midfielder,” Grant said.
“I need to talk to Capello! I am not the England manager, but I am sure that Scott deserves to be there.
“He played well offensively and defensively, was good with the ball. He has a great record for blocking shots of the other team and is very clever and professional, a good guy – very positive.
“I think it would be good for the England team if he was there, and especially in this form.”
