Crane replaces Billy Vunipola (London Wasps) who is training with the senior England squad.
Tigers prop Kieran Brookes has also been called into the Saxons squad. He replaces the injured David Paice (London Irish) in the Saxons squad for their games against 02 Ireland Wolfhounds in Galway on Friday, January 25 and Scotland A at Kingston Park, Newcastle seven days later.
Also included are Harlequins’ Rob Buchanan, Gloucester Rugby’s Nick Wood, Saracens' George Kruis, Nathan Catt (Bath Rugby), Tom Palmer (London Wasps) and Henry Thomas (Sale Sharks).
The Saxons meet at Surrey Sports Park on Monday before flying to Galway on Thursday and Head Coach Jon Callard said: “Rather than take the whole squad into camp we have cut it down to really focus on this young and dynamic group who've been in good form this season and have got lots to offer England in the future
“Both games provide us with a really tough test and will be a great way to measure their potential and progress.”
The Saxons side will be named at 9am on Thursday, January 24.
Meanwhile, Matt Kvesic (Worcester Warriors), Mouritz Botha (Saracens) and Ugo Monye (Harlequins) have been called up to the England training squad to prepare for the RBS 6 Nations.
Kvesic reported to the camp in Leeds this evening as injury cover for Exeter Chiefs’ Tom Johnson (knee) while Botha will arrive tomorrow in place of Northampton Saints’ Calum Clark (shoulder). Johnson and Clark will remain at their clubs for treatment.
Monye will join the squad as cover while players competing in the weekend's Heineken Cup are assessed by the England medical team. Jamie Gibson of London Irish replaces Kvesic in the Saxons squad.
