Hull KR's James Batchelor and Leeds' James McDonnell and Morgan Gannon are among six uncapped players selected for an England squad gathering in preparation for the upcoming autumn Ashes series, as reported by BBC.
Batchelor, a second-row forward, has been instrumental in his club's quest for a treble, aiming to complement their Challenge Cup victory at Wembley with the League Leaders' Shield and a Grand Final title.
McDonnell has recently switched his allegiance to England, having previously represented Ireland at the World Cup in 2022.
The squad also includes Harry Robertson and George Delaney from St Helens, along with Owen Trout from Leigh Leopards, marking their first call-ups to the England team.
England will compete in three home Tests against Australia: at Wembley on October 25, at Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium on November 1, and at AMT Headingley on November 8.
All matches will be broadcast live in the UK by the BBC.
