Woakes played in five matches of England's dismal World Cup campaign this year but was not named in the squad for the current test tour of West Indies.

England start a home two-test series against New Zealand on May 21 before five one-day internationals against the World Cup runners-up.

The five-test Ashes series against Australia begins in Cardiff on July 8.

Woakes, 26, has played four tests and 34 one-day internationals.
