In March, it was reported Ben Te'o would be fast-tracked into the England setup in anticipation of the next World Cup.
Those reports have turned out to be correct.
Today, England named their squad for the three-match tour of Australia in June. The Leinster centre has been included.

Te'o has been superb for Leinster this season. Earlier this month, he was named the province's Player of the Year.
The 29-year-old's move away from Leinster was confirmed in December with the announcement he would be joining Worcester Warriors.
Te'o joined Leinster as a project player in 2014 and would have been eligible to play for Ireland by November of next year.
As his mother was born and raised in England, he is already eligible to play for Eddie Jones' side.
