Jofra Archer will continue his rehabilitation from a back injury by training with the England Lions squad in the United Arab Emirates next month.
England fast bowler Archer has not played any cricket since July 2021 after being sidelined by a stress fracture of his back.
The paceman has not seen action for his country for 19 months, having also been out due to a long-standing elbow problem.
Archer is now eyeing a return and will step up his recovery in a camp in the UAE from November 11 to 27.
Fellow quicks Saqib Mahmood and Brydon Carse will also continue their rehabilitation from injuries in the UAE.
Haseeb Hameed, Dan Lawrence and Matthew Fisher are among the 15 players who will be in the Lions training group.
England will face the Lions in a three-day practice match, starting on November 23, ahead of a three-match Test series in Pakistan that starts at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on December 1.
