Jake Connor's omission is the most notable decision in England's 23-player squad for the Rugby League World Cup.
The Leeds Rhinos player, the 2026 Super League Man of Steel, was left out of the team announced on Monday.
Head coach Brian McDermott has confirmed the squad, with the tournament set to start next week.
Ten current NRL players made the cut, including Herbie Farnworth, the standout Dolphins centre.
Five Australians qualify through English ancestry: AJ Brimson, Max King, Victor Radley, Hugo Savala and Ben Talty.
Wigan Warriors have seven players selected, but none come from Wakefield Trinity, the recently crowned 2026 Super League champions.
Australia-based players Billy Smith, Jamie Humphreys and Jayden Brailey also missed out.
