THREE Warrington Wolves players have been included in England’s squad for the Test series with New Zealand.

Daryl Clark is recalled after a two-year absence from the squad, while Chris Hill and Stefan Ratchford retain their places after featuring in the Test win over the Kiwis in Denver in June.

Clark featured in the 2016 Four Nations but was left out of the squad for last year's Rugby League World Cup. He will compete with Josh Hodgson for the number 9 shirt, with St Helens captain James Roby ruled out as he is booked in for post-season surgery.

Mike Cooper is not included despite being drafted back into Wayne Bennett’s Elite Performance Squad.

There are five uncapped players – Wakefield duo Tom Johnstone and Reece Lyne, St Helens prop Luke Thompson, Wigan second rower Joe Greenwood and Castleford’s Adam Milner – in Bennett’s squad for the three-match series.

The sides will clash on October 27 in Hull, November 4 in Liverpool and November 11 in Leeds.

Full England squad: John Bateman, George Burgess, Sam Burgess, Tom Burgess, Daryl Clark, Jake Connor, Luke Gale, James Graham, Joe Greenwood, Chris Hill, Josh Hodgson, Tom Johnstone, Jonny Lomax, Reece Lyne, Tommy Makinson, Jermaine McGillvary, Adam Milner, Sean O’Loughlin, Mark Percival, Stefan Ratchford, Luke Thompson, Sam Tomkins, Elliot Whithead, George Williams.
