Fresh from sweeping Pakistan to distraction during England’s recent Twenty20 series win in Pakistan, Ben Duckett is now eyeing a return to the country before Christmas to play the format that sits “right at the top” of his ambitions.
Duckett missed out on England’s T20 World Cup campaign but will be among those under consideration when a touring party is chosen by Rob Key’s selection panel next week. The 27-year-old is, it should be noted, a much-matured player since a struggle against India’s Ravichandran Ashwin during his last stab at Test cricket six winters ago.
