Tom Shanklin made three Lions appearances during the 2005 Tour of New Zealand, scoring a try on his debut against Bay of Plenty.
However, he suffered a knee injury early in the Tour which meant that he had to be replaced.
He was also named for the 2009 Tour to South Africa but had to withdraw with a shoulder injury.
Shanklin - who played club rugby for Saracens, London Welsh and Cardiff Blues - won 70 caps for Wales and scored 20 tries but following a fourth knee operation in 2011, he announced his retirement.
