JOSH BASSETT is set to become the oldest England winger to make his Test debut for 70 years after getting a surprise call-up from Eddie Jones.
The 29-year-old Wasps player was named in England’s 34-man training squad on Thursday ahead of a summer schedule which sees England A play Scotland A followed by two Tests against the USA and Canada, all broadcast by Channel 4.
Bassett has pulled on an England shirt twice before, as an U20s player, while still at Bedford, and two years ago for the end-ofseason jamboree against the Barbarians, but never at the highest level.
