Foran has played 20 Tests for New Zealand but his last was two years ago.
He was unavailable last year for well-publicised personal issues.
While Foran's return was expected coach David Kidwell named two uncapped players in the 20-man squad to prepare for the Test - the Melbourne Storm pair of prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona and hooker Brandon Smith.
Smith is understudy to Kangaroos skipper Cameron Smith at the Storm.
Another surprise inclusion is St George Illawarra prop Russell Packer, whose only two Tests were six years ago.
