The three-match Test series begins on August 5 in Manchester.
Pakistan Cricket Board has announced that 10 of its 29 England-bound players have tested positive for Coronavirus.
The new names on the list are Kashif Bhatti, Mohammad Hasnain, Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Hafeez, Wahab Riaz, and Imran Khan.
Riaz is part of a pool of 29 players who will be touring England for three Tests and as many T20Is.
Pakistan head coach Misbah also felt that it would be difficult for fast bowlers to get accustomed to the new playing conditions.
The last time the left-arm pacer turned out in the whites for Pakistan was in October 2018.
According to reports, Pakistan's Champions Trophy-winning captain Sarfaraz will be relegated from Category A to C.
Wahab revealed how a sledge from Watson got him all fired-up.
Misbah also said there were no concerns about the form of captain Azhar Ali as he has scored heavily against all teams in the past.
Wahab said he will not play in the revamped Quaid-e-Azam Trophy first class tournament which kicks off from Saturday.
