ContinueEngland coach Stuart Lancaster has announced that there is seven changes to his initial Elite Player Squad ahead of the 2012/13 season.
Perhaps the two biggest omissions are that of James Haskell and Dave Strettle who have both missed out despite featuring on the recent tour of South Africa.
Danny Care, Alex Goode, Tom Hognson, Geoff Parling, Anthony Allen, Thomas Waldrom and Jonathan Joseph have all been included in the 32 man squad.
There are first call-ups for George Ford, Matt Kvesic, Nathan Catt, Christian Wade and Rob Miller in the Saxons, while 26 member os the squad that toured South Africa have remained in the squad.
Congratulations to all those chosen for both squads. We spent a long time deciding on these 64 and there were some tough decisions to make," said Lancaster.
"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 QBE 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.
"There are also some exciting players just on the cusp of the squads such as Tom Homer, Charlie Matthews, Tom Heathcote and Elliot Daly, who we are really looking forward to seeing develop in the next 12 months and beyond."
