Sam Burgess is back in the England rugby league squad, three years after his last appearance. England coach Wayne Bennett has named his first squad and Burgess is among the 24 players selected for this autumns Ladbrokes Four Nations and the upcoming Test against France.The 27-year-old Burgesss most recent appearance came in the 2013 World Cup semi-final against New Zealand. Since then, he spent time playing rugby union, but his selection for Englands 2015 World Cup squad came in for criticism and he decided to return to rugby league after the tournament, joining South Sydney Rabbitohs.He will be joined in the squad by four uncapped players, St Helens duo Jonny Lomax and Mark Percival. Hull FCs Scott Taylor and Castleford Tigers half-back Luke Gale. Jonny Lomax could be set for an England debut And there are returns to the squad for Warrington Wolves Daryl Clark and Stefan Ratchford, South Sydney Rabbitohs forward George Burgess, Wigan Warriors centre Dan Sarginson and Widnes Vikings Kevin Brown.However, Wigans Sean OLoughlin, Sam Tomkins, and Dom Manfredi, and Warringtons Ben Currie all miss out due to injury.St Helens full-back Lomax is the surprise inclusion.The 26-year-old missed the first 11 weeks of the Super League season after undergoing a second knee reconstruction but played a major role in Saints surge during the second half of the year.Zak Hardaker, the 2015 Man of Steel who played in all three matches as England secured a Test series win over New Zealand last year, was not selected after losing his place at Leeds, while other notable absentees are Wigan scrum-half Matty Smith, St Helens hooker James Roby and Super League player of the year Danny Houghton of Hull FC.Bennett, said: Theres been a lot of competition for places this year and the players that have been picked are the ones we believe will stand up to the test of the competing nations.

Ive always said that there wouldnt be too many changes when I arrived and there are plenty of guys in the squad who worked hard in last years International Series win against New Zealand and who have gone on and performed in 2016.To have Sam Burgess back is not just a boost for England but one for the international game. Having worked with him in the past, hes a great bloke to have around and have by your shoulder on the field.Injuries are part and parcel of the game and to lose players like OLoughlin, Tomkins and Currie isnt ideal but it does offer opportunities to others who have performed in the year and its good to see some new and returning faces in the squad.
