The Pakistan cricket team toured England in July 2021 to play three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1][2] The ODI series formed part of the inaugural 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.[3][4]
Ahead of the ODI series, the England squad were forced to self-isolate following positive tests for COVID-19, with Ben Stokes named as their ODI captain.[5] In response, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) were satisfied by the response from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) with regards to following COVID-19 protocols.[6] England won the first two ODI matches to win the series with a game to spare.[7] England then won the third ODI by three wickets to win the series 3–0.[8] Pakistan won the first T20I match by 31 runs.[9] England went on to win the next two matches to win the series 2–1.[10]
