The Pakistan cricket team toured England in July 2021 to play three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. The ODI series formed part of the inaugural 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.
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. In response, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) were satisfied by the response from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) with regard to following COVID-19 protocols. England won the first two ODI matches to win the series with a game to spare. England then won the third ODI by three wickets to win the series 3–0. Pakistan won the first T20I match by 31 runs. England went on to win the next two matches to win the series 2–1.

On 3 July 2021, England's squad was named for the ODI series.
