Miski, 26, joined Wigan on a three-year deal in the off-season after a standout year in the Championship with London. He scored 18 tries in as many appearances for the capital club.
Wigan coach Matt Peet said: “He deserves it. He’s been flawless since he came into the club and only missed out because lads in front have had credit in the bank. This is a shot that he’s earned.”
The Warriors will take on a mini tour of France over the next couple of weeks as they play back-to-back games against Toulouse and Catalans Dragons.
Wigan will stay in France for 10 days as they take on both of Super League’s French teams in their own back yard.
Peet said: “We’re going to three places. We start in Toulouse first, then Montpellier before going on to Perpignan.
“At the centre of all that are two huge games. We’ve got some clear objectives but will also benefit from spending some quality time together.”
