Rabbitohs superstar Latrell Mitchell is set for his first Origin appearance since 2021 after being named in the centres to replace the suspended Joseph Sua'ali'i.

Mitchell last played for the Blues in 2021 where they won the series.

New South Wales Blues coach Michael Maguire has named his 20-player squad for Game Two of the Ampol State of Origin series to be played in Melbourne on June 26.

Mitchell is one of several new faces in the extended New South Wales squad, with Connor Watson, Dylan Edwards, Mitchell Moses and Cameron Murray all called in as the Blues look to level the series at 1-1.

Watson will make his debut after being named on the bench in place of Hudson Young while Murray joins the side in place of Sharks lock Cameron McInnes.

Moses and Edwards replace Nicho Hynes and James Tedesco.

As they did in the lead-up to Game One, the Blues will begin camp in Sydney on this morning before heading to Katoomba on Tuesday for their training preparations ahead of their trip to Melbourne early next week.

The Maroons will announce their team for Game Two today.

The Blues host the Maroons for Origin Game Two next Wednesday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground at 10.05pm.

Blues team for Game Two: Dylan Edwards, Brian To'o, Stephen Crichton, Latrell Mitchell, Zac Lomax, Jarome Luai, Mitchell Moses, Jake Trbojevic, ©, Reece Robson, Payne Haas, Liam Martin, Angus Crichton, Cameron Murray Connor Watson, Isaah Yeo, Haumole Olakau'atu, Spencer Leniu, Mitch Barnett, Cameron McInnes, Luke Keary
