England have been boosted by the return of Ben Stokes from a hamstring injury for the tour of Pakistan next month.
The Test skipper is currently continuing recovery from the hamstring tear that kept him out of the home series against Sri Lanka.
Opener Zak Crawley, who fractured his finger in July, also makes a return to the squad after making significant progress in his recovery over the last two months.
Uncapped duo of Brydon Carse and Jordan Cox also make the cut for the tour while pacer Josh Hull, who debuted in the final Test against Sri Lanka, has been retained for his first overseas tour.
England have added more strength to the spin attack with Shoaib Bashir joined by Rehan Ahmed and Jack Leach, both of whom return to the Test squad after missing out in the recent matches.
The venue for the three-match series is yet to be confirmed with PCB expected to announce the same later this week.
The first Test is scheduled to take place on October 7.
England Test squad for Pakistan: Ben Stokes (c), Rehan Ahmed, Gus Atkinson, Shoaib Bashir, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Jordan Cox, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Josh Hull, Jack Leach, Ollie Pope, Matthew Potts, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Olly Stone, Chris Woakes.
