Stuart Broad has retained his place in England's Test squad ahead of the three-match series against Pakistan.
Broad, whose 16 wickets in two matches helped him to be named man of the series in his side's win over the West Indies, is one of 14 names in an unchanged squad.
The #raisethebat series will be played in a bio-secure environment, behind closed doors, with the opener at Emirates Old Trafford (from Wednesday 5 August) being followed by two Tests at the Ageas Bowl.
"After three Tests in quick succession against the West Indies, we now turn to an equally condensed Test series against Pakistan, with 15 days of Test cricket scheduled in a three-week period," said National Selector Ed Smith
"County cricket now restarts on Saturday 1st August. We want to have sufficient reserves inside the biosecure Test match ‘bubble’, but we may also want to give opportunities, where possible, for the reserves to play county cricket.
"As we seek the best balance here, England may make changes to the reserves during the three-match series against Pakistan."
England Test Squad:
Joe Root (Yorkshire) Captain, James Anderson (Lancashire), Jofra Archer (Sussex), Dominic Bess (Somerset), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Rory Burns (Surrey), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Zak Crawley (Kent), Sam Curran (Surrey), Ollie Pope (Surrey), Dom Sibley (Warwickshire), Ben Stokes (Durham), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire), Mark Wood (Durham).
