England have announced their new Elite Player squad with Danny Care returning but James Haskell missing out.
Head coach Stuart Lancaster has made seven changes to the squad named at the beginning of the year.
He has added Leicester trio Anthony Allen, Geoff Parling and Thomas Waldrom, Harlequins scrum-half Care, Saracens back Alex Goode, London Irish centre Jonathan Joseph and Exeter flanker Tom Johnson.
Care was one of the shining lights of England’s recent tour of South Africa and his inclusion in the Elite Player squad draws a line under a difficult year, in which he was involved in a number of off-field incidents.
Haskell, who will return to London Wasps, next season is the biggest absentee, having been relegated to the England Saxons squad.
He is joined by Louis Deacon, Joe Simpson and David Strettle, while Lee Mears and Charlie Hodgson are missing following their retirements from international rugby.
"We spent a long time deciding on these 64, and there were some tough decisions to make," Lancaster said. "
Selecting players at this stage gives us an early chance to sit down and assess the tour and look forward to next season.
"However, experience tells us that form and fitness will play a major role in selection prior to the internationals in November and December, and any of the players in the senior and Saxons squads could easily be involved.
"We saw this in January when Geoff Parling came in as an injury replacement for Louis Deacon and has played every Test since.
“There is always movement which opens the door for players, and I am sure next season will be no different. The great thing is that we have got competition across the board and strength in depth developing in many positions with players who will be around for the next few years."
Players in both squads will attend a training camp at Loughborough University in August.
England kick-off their autumn series against Fiji on November 10, before clashes with Australia, South Africa and New Zealand on consecutive weekends.
