England regained the Wisden Trophy after defeating West Indies 2-1 in its first international assignment post COVID-19 hiatus.

After losing the first Test in Southampton, England bounced back into the series with all-rounder Ben Stokes shining in the second match to level it at 1-1 before fast bowler Stuart Broad guided the home side to victory in the decider.

James Bracey, Ben Foakes, Jack Leach and Dan Lawrence have been named in the reserves.

Akin to the West Indies series, England will host Pakistan under a bio-secure environment.

"Our 14-man squad is unchanged," national selector Ed Smith said in a statement. "County cricket now restarts on Saturday, Aug. 1. We want to have sufficient reserves inside the bio-secure 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."

The second and third Tests will be played in Southampton from August 13 and August 21, respectively.

England Test squad for first Test versus Pakistan:

Joe Root (captain), Ben Stokes, Rory Burns, Jos Buttler, Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, Dom Sibley, James Anderson, Jofra Archer, Dominic Bess, Stuart Broad, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes and Mark Wood.
