England v Barbarians: Danny Care recalled after four-year absence

Danny Care has earned a recall to the England squad, almost four years since his last international appearance.

The Harlequins scrum-half, 35, has won 84 caps and last played for his country against Japan in November 2018.

But Care made the five-man shortlist for this year's Premiership player of the season and has been called up to the squad preparing for Sunday's match with the Barbarians.

England then have a three-Test tour in Australia, starting in Perth on 2 July.

Despite his England exile, Care has excelled for Quins in recent seasons, helping them win the Premiership in 2021 and losing out to Saracens flanker Ben Earl for this season's player of the season award.

He had been selected to play for the Barbarians this weekend and was due to fly to Monaco for a training camp before being summoned by England coach Eddie Jones.

Care's club team-mates, the uncapped hooker Jack Walker and two-cap prop Will Collier, have also been named, but experienced loosehead Joe Marler is not involved.

The 36-man squad does not include players from the Premiership finalists Leicester and Saracens, who meet on Saturday at Twickenham.

"This is a strong, diverse squad," said Jones. "There are a lot of exciting, young players and some experienced players who have another opportunity to shine.

"Everyone will be given the chance to make their case for being part of the Australia tour squad while we prepare for the Barbarians."
