England will face Pakistan with a new squad after their initial team was forced to isolate due to three players and four staff testing positive for COVID-19. Ben Stokes will lead the England side as they lock horns with Pakistan in the limited-overs series.

English fast bowlers Stuart Broad and James Anderson are also expected to be picked in the squad. While Broad featured in an ODI game for England in 2016, Anderson has played his last 50-over match in 2015 against Afghanistan.

Broad reacted to the news on Twitter and posted a tweet asking Anderson if he has still got his ODI cap. Anderson responded to the tweet with a gif which showed he is waiting for the call-up to the limited-overs side.

Later, Broad posted another tweet with an old picture of him in England's ODI kit. He jokingly asked Anderson if England still have the same kit? "It’s still this kit, right?! @jimmy9," he tweeted.

England are scheduled to play Pakistan in three ODIs and T20Is each, starting with the first ODI on July 8 in Cardiff.
