The Outlaws' assistant head coach has been asked to assist with the pre-match warm-up at his home ground.
Franks, 38, who played a solitary one-day international, in 2000, described the call as a "pleasant surprise".
"It's a wonderful opportunity to see England's best prepare for a very exciting series," he said.
"It's an opportunity to pick some brains and look at the best players and how they go about their work, because the best coaches learn from the players."
Franks' senior international experience to date is limited to a wicketless nine overs and just four runs with the bat in a defeat by the West Indies, also at Trent Bridge.
But, after a stint in 2015 coaching the United Arab Emirates. he has developed a growing reputation as a coach at Nottinghamshire, and was promoted to become Peter Moores' first-team assistant in November,

Black, who was convicted of murdering four young girls across the UK, died in Maghaberry prison last month.
The detectives were in Northern Ireland last week to question Barry McCarney who is serving life for the murder of 15 month old Millie Martin in 2009.
They questioned McCarney twice over three days, for four hours each time.
After Black's death in January, McCarney told prison authorities that the paedophile had confessed several murders to him.
Although Black was convicted of four child killings, he never admitted any of them.
Timeline of Robert Black's killings
The only crime which Black admitted to was the abduction of a girl in his native Scotland when he was caught red-handed.
The BBC understands Black and McCarney became close while they were both housed in Maghaberry prison's hospital wing.
Black is suspected of at least 12 other unsolved child murders, including that of Genette Tate in Devon in 1978.
She disappeared while riding her bicycle on her newspaper round. Her body has never been found.
Detectives from Devon and Cornwall Police were close to charging Black with her murder when he died.
The force, however, has not confirmed if the detectives who visited McCarney came from there.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, a former RUC detective who said he found the crucial piece of evidence which helped convict Black of Jennifer Cardy's murder has been speaking to the BBC.
He said he found a petrol receipt which proved Black was less than a mile from Jennifer's house on the day she disappeared.
That was 16 years before Black stood trial for Jennifer's murder and a delay which the former officer said was unacceptable.
"We went to the headquarters at Shell at Worthenshaw and it was there we sat in the room with monitors and we were looking for Robert Black's signature coming up where he had got petrol.
"Whenever we found the receipt that he was only less than a mile from McKee's Dam on the Hillsborough Road where he got petrol.
"We were able to tie him down that he was in Northern Ireland at the time Jennifer Cardy went missing."

Thomas Cullen, 20, who has Down's syndrome, posted the video having failed to find a job after several months of trying.
Since putting the clip on Facebook, his appeal has been viewed more than 28,000 times.
His mother Carolyn said she had not expected the video to attract the level of attention and was "hopeful" it would help her son.
Mrs Cullen, from Thirsk, said: "I posted it on Facebook just thinking that somebody might see it and think 'Oh, I know somebody [who can help]'. I did not expect the amount of hits and shares that it's had.
"I think people view somebody with a disability as not able to do the job, but it just needs somebody to give a little bit of extra time to them.
"Thomas just needs somebody who is prepared to give him a chance.
"I'm hopeful. I would like him to get a job and to lead a normal life like anybody else."
According to Mencap less than a fifth of the 1.4m people in the UK with a learning disability are in employment despite at least 65% wanting to work.
James Bolton, from the charity, said: "Unfortunately [Thomas'] story is all too common.
"I think there are all too often negative attitudes from employers and the public about what people with a learning disability can do. Very often it's due to a lack of understanding."
Nottinghamshire's Paul Franks will join England's coaching staff for the Test match against South Africa at Trent Bridge in July.
