Richard Wigglesworth has been handed an England recall by Eddie Jones for the game with the Barbarians.
The Saracens scrum-half has not featured for England under Jones but has been called into the 29-man squad for the non-cap international.
Saracens’ defeat by Exeter in the Aviva Premiership semi-final has freed Wigglesworth up for the England call, while stars from the Chiefs, Wasps and Northampton remain unavailable.
Jones said: “It’s an opportunity to have a look at him and that’s what the Barbarians game is for.

“He’s always been a good player, and I think he’s been playing a little bit better. With Ben Youngs away it’s an opportunity to have a look at him.”
Wigglesworth has proved integral to Saracens sealing back-to-back European Champions Cup triumphs, along with last term’s Aviva Premiership title.
The former Sale scrum-half has previously remained surplus to England requirements under Jones, but recently insisted he had harboured no thoughts of giving up on a recall.
Leicester’s Ellis Genge returns to the squad after the Tigers’ 21-20 loss to Wasps, along with Saracens trio Alex Lozowski, Nick Isiekwe and Nathan Earle.
England will need a new captain against the BaaBaas with Dylan Hartley in action in Northampton’s Champions Cup play-off on Friday night.
Jones insisted he will not name his captain until after selecting his starting XV, leaving no guarantee that the Argentina tour squad vice-captains Mike Brown, Danny Care and George Ford are the frontrunners for the armband.
Asked if one of the senior trio of deputies will step to lead, Jones replied: “Not necessarily, no. I’ll decide the captain when I pick the team.
“As soon as I pick the team I’ll work out the captain.”
Ospreys’ Bath-bound flanker Sam Underhill could also make his England bow against the Barbarians, after his Welsh region crashed out of the Guinness PRO12 at the semi-final stage.
“It will be good to have a look at him,” said Jones of Underhill. “We’ve obviously watched him a lot for the Ospreys, he’s obviously got the opportunity to take the next step forward, so it will be nice to work with him this week.”
