Nehe Milner-Skudder has been included in the 28-man New Zealand Maori squad to take on the British & Irish Lions in Rotorua on 17 June.
The All Blacks wing made his long-awaited return from a foot injury off the Hurricanes' bench against the Force last weekend.
He is joined in the squad by fellow All Blacks, Liam Messam, Charlie Ngatai, Tawera Kerr-Barlow and Damian McKenzie.
This will be the ninth time the Maori have met the Lions, with the last encounter being a 19-13 win to the New Zealand side in 2005.
