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]
On 24 June 2021, Haider Ali was withdrawn from Pakistan's squad, after breaching the bio-secure bubble at the 2021 Pakistan Super League tournament.[15] Sohaib Maqsood was named as his replacement.[16] On 8 July 2021, Pakistan's Haris Sohail was ruled of the ODI matches due to hamstring injury.[17]
On 3 July 2021, England's squad was named for the ODI series.[18] However, on 6 July 2021, it was announced that seven individuals, three squad members and four support staff,[19] had tested positive for COVID-19. Therefore, the whole team was forced to isolate.[20] Ben Stokes was named as the captain,[21] with a new squad announced later the same day.[22]
Prior to the ODI series, the Pakistan team were scheduled to play two 50-over intra-squad practice matches.[23] However, the second match was cancelled due to rain.[24]
