Saracens prop Matt Stevens is back in the England fold after being named in Saxons' squad for the Churchill Cup just five months after returning to action following a drug ban.

South Africa-born Stevens was included in the England second-string squad for the tournament in June two days after helping Saracens to a 22-18 win over Leicester in the Premiership final at Twickenham.

It is the first time the 28-year-old has featured in an England squad since completing his two-year ban for cocaine use.

Stevens, who toured New Zealand with British and Irish Lions in 2005 and has 32 England caps, left Bath in 2009 after failing a drug test after a European Cup match against Glasgow the previous month.

He was withdrawn from England's Six nations squad for the 2009 tournament and suspended by Bath.

Meanwhile, South African second-row forward Mouritz Botha has been named in the squad after qualifying to represent England on residential grounds.

Botha, 29, is a team-mate of Stevens at Saracens and joins the youngest ever Saxons squad, with an average age of 23 years and nine months.
