The 25-year-old has played just 34 minutes since the World Cup.
Tom Curry has been included in an England squad that contains seven players from newly crowned Gallagher Premiership champions Northampton.
Northampton are rewarded for toppling Bath in Saturday’s Premiership final with a strong contingent including uncapped wing Ollie Sleightholme, the league’s leading try scorer this season. England announced on Sunday that George Ford would sit out the tour following a recurrence of an Achilles injury sustained in 2022, placing Fin Smith and Marcus Smith in a straight shootout at fly-half.Head coach Steve Borthwick has opted to take just two playmakers, leaving Charlie Atkinson at home, with George Furbank and Henry Slade providing cover for the number 10 jersey.
“The summer series presents a valuable opportunity for the continued development of this squad and is a demanding challenge to conclude the season,” Borthwick said.“Travelling together is a great way to build closer bonds and provides an important opportunity for new players to settle into our environment.“With the changes in climate, playing conditions and contrasting styles of rugby from the two opponents we face, we will be challenged on and off the field.
