    The Barbarians have announced the first batch of names for what promises to be a world-class squad to take on England and the British and Irish Lions this summer.
    Sergio Parisse, who led the Barbarians to victory over Wales and England two years ago, returns to Baa-Baas' colours while fellow Azzurri star Martin Castrogiovanni is set to make his Barbarians' debut.
    Other debutants for the famous touring club include Samoan scrum-half Kahn Fotuali'i and France number 8 Imanol Harinordoquy.
    Springbok Jaque Fourie, who helped the Barbarians to beat New Zealand in 2009, is named at centre.
    Barbarians' team manager Derek Quinnell said: "This year's summer tour is a very important one for our club. It is a great honour to play the Lions as well as England and we are very conscious of the need to invite the strongest possible squad to do justice to two great fixtures.
    "As the weeks go by and national squads are selected and domestic cup and league competitions reach their final stages, we are monitoring who will be available to us. We then decide on the best balance of our squad in all positions and will make further announcements in due course."
    The Barbarians will be coached by London Wasps' director of rugby David Young. The tour kicks off with the annual match against England at Twickenham on Sunday 26 May before the squad fly to Hong Kong for the spectacular climax against the British and Irish Lions on Saturday 1 June.
    Tickets for England v Barbarians are on sale via Ticketmaster.
