The 20-year-old, who committed his long-term future to Bath Rugby last week, was a key part of England Under-20s' Grand Slam-winning U20 Six Nations campaign in 2021 and featured in this year's tournament too.

He has been a standout for the Blue, Black and White this season, at both lock and blindside flanker, winning the club's Breakthrough Player of the Season award.

Richards joins Orlando Bailey, Joe Cokanasiga, Charlie Ewels, Will Stuart, Sam Underhill and Anthony Watson in the squad which met today (Sunday 22 May) and will be with each other until Wednesday 25 May.

England face Australia in a three-Test series this summer with the first match taking place in Perth on Saturday 2 July.
