Jesse Bromwich and Kevin Proctor are in line to return to the Kiwis for their end-of-season rugby league internationals.
They've been named in an extended Kiwis squad with an eye to next month's one-off test against the Kangaroos and the tour of England that follows.
Bromwich and Proctor haven't played for New Zealand since being caught using cocaine after last year's ANZAC test in Canberra.
New Kiwis coach Michael Maguire has previously said he's wanted to bring them back into the fold.
Maguire will trim his squad once the NRL season is over.
