Leicester Tigers trio Calum Green, Sam Harrison and Will Hurrell have been named in England's Under-20 Elite Player Squad for this season's major tournaments.
Head coach Mark Mapletoft has selected a 32-man group to take part in the RBS U20 Six Nations that kicks off in February and in this summer's IRB Junior World Championship in Argentina.
Mapletoft said: "The strength in depth we have is increasing. Our objective is that it will give England more and more options at a senior level in the years to come.”
England completed a Six Nations Grand Slam in 2008 and have reached the last two IRB Junior World Championship finals in 2008 and 2009.
The opening game of the RBS U20 Six Nations is against Wales at Gloucester on February 5 (7.45pm).
