Former England batter and coach David Lloyd remains unconvinced about Ben Duckett as a Test match opener, despite the 28-year-old scoring a brilliant hundred on his return to the side against Pakistan.
Duckett played four Tests back in 2016 against Bangladesh and India, but was axed after scoring just 110 runs at an average of 15.71 and struggling against the spinners. However, the 28-year-old is now a much-improved player and was handed a recall against Pakistan after scoring 1,012 runs at 72.28 for Nottinghamshire in this year's County Championship
Despite primarily batting at number three for his county, he was picked to open for England alongside Zak Crawley, getting the nod ahead of Keaton Jennings. And Duckett duly cashed in on a flat Rawalpindi pitch, scoring an excellent century off 105 balls.
