Wakefield Trinity duo Tom Johnstone and Reece Lyne are among five uncapped players in a 24-man England squad to face France and New Zealand.

Johnstone was named in the Super League Dream Team on Monday and the wing's week got even better when he was called up by Wayne Bennett.

Centre Lyne is also set to make his debut either against France on October 17 or in a three-Test series against the Kiwis, which starts at the KCOM Stadium in Hull on October 27.

St Helens prop Luke Thompson, Wigan Warriors forward Joe Greenwood and Castleford Tigers forward Adam Milner are also in line to win their first caps.

Gareth Widdop, Kallum Watkins, Ryan Hall, Ben Currie, Alex Walmsley and James Roby are ruled out due to injury.

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, Elliott Whitehead, George Williams.
