And right back Tendayi Darikwa has also been selected for the Zimbabwe squad for their 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Guinea.

Vokes is in line to become the first Claret to feature at a European Championship finals, with Chris Coleman’s players top of Group B, as they aim to reach their first final stages since the 1958 World Cup in Sweden.

Wales face Cyprus in Nicosia on Thursday, before hosting Israel in Cardiff three days later.

Summer signing Darikwa, meanwhile, has caught the attention of Warriors’ head coach Callisto Pasuwa, who has selected the former Chesterfield man for the first time, to face Guinea a week on Sunday.

Zimbabwe are in the same group as Guinea, Malawi and Swaziland, with the 13 group winners and the two best second-placed teams joining hosts Gabon at the finals, to be held in early 2017.
