England and Pakistan have not played an entire T20 series since 2015
Here was what National Selector Ed Smith said on the squad.
“In this crowded international summer, players who are currently in the Test match bio-secure bubble for the Pakistan Test series are not included in this squad. (The IT20s begin three days after the scheduled last day of the final Test). We want to give multi-format players some opportunity to rest and refresh, while still selecting strong squads for every series. We will announce the squad for the Australia T20 series at a later date.”
In addition to the squad, the coaching team for the T20I series against Pakistan has also been announced.
Head Coach: Graham Thorpe
Assistant Coach: Paul Collingwood
Batting Coach: Marcus Trescothick
Bowling Coach: Jon Lewis (supported by former Pakistan Cricketer Azhar Mahmood)
Wicketkeeping Coach: James Foster
Schedule:
1st T20: 28 August
2nd T20: 30 August
3rd T20: 1 September
All three games are to be played at the Emirates Old Trafford, Lancashire
