Tom Curry has been included in England's 33-player training camp named by head coach Steve Borthwick on Monday, having played just once since the Rugby World Cup due to hip surgery.
Curry is named alongside twin brother Ben in a squad which does not contain players from Premiership finalists Northampton Saints or Bath - who face other at Twickenham on Saturday.
Tom Curry's first appearance since October came in Sale Sharks' Premiership semi-final defeat away to Bath last weekend.
England travel to face Japan on June 22 before a two-Test series against New Zealand on July 6 and July 13, live on Sky Sports.
Prop Bevan Rodd earns a recall while his Sale team-mates Raffi Quirke and the uncapped Joe Carpenter will also get the chance to try and make Borthwick's final squad selection.
Harlequins prop Fin Baxter, Exeter back-row Greg Fisilau and lock Rusi Tuima, and Bristol hooker Gabriel Oghre are other players who have received a call-up in the forwards.
In the backs, Gloucester's Charlie Atkinson, Harlequins' Luke Northmore, Bristol's Harry Randall and Sale's Tom Roebuck have made the panel at this stage.
Leicester Tigers scrum-half Jack van Poortvliet also returns following a lengthy spell absent with injury.
The group of 33 players will take part in a four-day training camp with England from Tuesday June 4. Borthwick will then name his official touring group on Monday June 10.
