Matthew Hoggard has been named in the England Lions 12-man squad to face New Zealand on 8 May at the Rose Bowl.
The seamer has been given an early chance to impress the England selectors after he was dropped after the first Test defeat to New Zealand in March.
"He is a fighter and he will not want to give up his England place easily," said national selector Geoff Miller.
The Lions will be led by Kent's Robert Key and also include Matt Prior, Ravi Bopara, Owais Shah and Chris Tremlett.
