Ben Duckett Declared Fit And Available For England’s Campaign In The Champions Trophy
ICC Champions Trophy: Left-handed opener Ben Duckett has been declared fit and available for England’s campaign in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, starting from February 19, following a scan on his left groin. Duckett picked an injury in his left groin while fielding during the third ODI against India, which England lost by 142 runs in Ahmedabad and suffered a 3-0 series sweep. After departing India, Duckett was set to undergo scans in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
“Scans on a left groin injury have confirmed that England men’s batter Ben Duckett is fit and available for the ICC Champions Trophy,” said the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in a statement on Saturday.
Duckett’s availability comes as a big relief for England, who were previously forced into making one change to their 15-man Champions Trophy squad, with Tom Banton replacing Jacob Bethell, who suffered a left hamstring injury during the ODI leg of the India tour.
