Lancashire batsman Liam Livingstone has been passed fit for England's two-Test series in New Zealand and will travel with the rest of the touring party this week.
Livingstone suffered an injury to his left ankle in February on England Lions duty training ahead of the final four-day match against West Indies A in Antigua.
The 24-year-old, uncapped at Test level, trained with England senior players Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad on grass pitches inside the marquee at Edgbaston on Sunday and came through a rigorous net session without any concerns.
Livingstone is due to arrive, along with the other Test specialists, into Hamilton on March 9 to start preparations ahead of the first Test against the Black Caps at Auckland's Eden Park starting on March 22.
