The 28-year-old made his Test debut in 2016 but returned to the side for the 2022 winter series against Pakistan and New Zealand. After impressive stints as an attacking opener, Duckett is in line for his first Ashes series, which starts on 16 June at Edgbaston. "It's so positive that there is so much noise around the series," he said. England have reignited their Test form in the last 12 months with an aggressive and entertaining approach that has seen captain Ben Stokes win 10 of his 12 matches in charge. And Duckett said their style has played a big part in the anticipation surrounding the upcoming Ashes. "I think people are seeing it as England having a huge chance to turn the Aussies over," Duckett told BBC Sport. "The way we played in the winter, and then with their good form, it makes it really exciting. "If I get the nod for an Ashes series, I'll be over the moon." Australia are the number one ranked side in the world and will play the World Test Championship final at The Oval before the first Ashes Test. But England bowler Ollie Robinson has said England could give them "a good hiding" in home conditions. And Duckett added: "He is one of the best bowlers in the world at the moment and he'll back himself to get any of them [Australia] out on any day. "I hope it's one of those niggly series'. Lots of players play with each other around the world now in franchise cricket so it's a tad more friendly than it was 10 or 15 years ago, but I can't imagine that they're goin...

Ben Duckett made 145 for England Lions against South Africa in August Three-match Test series: Pakistan v England Venues: Rawalpindi, Multan & Karachi Dates: 1-5, 9-13 & 17-21 December Coverage: Live text commentary on the BBC Sport website, plus Test Match Special commentary on BBC Sounds Ben Duckett doesn't want to talk about Perth. To the Nottinghamshire batter, there are too many good things happening now to keep going back to that 2017 night in The Avenue bar, when he poured a drink over James Anderson and found himself banned from playing on the England Lions tour of Australia. "I've done enough in my career, even before that incident, to be remembered for better than that," he tells BBC Sport. Five years on, Duckett is set to resume a Test career that comprises four matches against Bangladesh and India in 2016. As recently as a year ago the left-hander thought he would never play another Test, but a prolific summer has put him in prime position to open the batting alongside Zak Crawley in Pakistan this month, moving up from the number-three spot he occupies for Notts. • England-Australia World Cup match washed out in Melbourne The runs scored by Duckett are the culmination of a long road back, not from the indiscretion in Perth, but from a broken hand that meant he would eventually have to re-learn how to hold a bat. Rushing back from surgery on his left hand at the beginning of the 2018 season - his last with first county Northamptonshire - Duckett unwittingly alte...

England started this eagerly-anticipated Ashes summer with a 10-wicket victory over Ireland in three days at Lord’s. Ollie Pope’s 205 and a second Test century for Ben Duckett saw England declare on 524 for four and despite a spirited third-day display with the bat by Ireland, they were all out for 362 to set an easy target of 11 following their below-par 172 on day one. View this post on Instagram Josh Tongue passed his Ashes audition with five for 66 in Ireland’s second innings to put his name on the honours board and leave an impression on his captain. Ben Stokes revealed ahead of the four-day fixture that Tongue was selected due to his extra pace and he hit 91mph during an impressive first spell. Tongue, who came close to retiring from cricket during a 15-month absence from the game due to a nerve problem in his shoulder, eased between an enforcer role and pitching it up as England’s third seamer. With 11 County Championship wickets to his name, including a certain Steve Smith, he is now a genuine option for the Ashes after being included in the squad for the first two Tests.

Ben Duckett, who opened the innings for England, in the ongoing ENG vs IRE Test match at Lord's, played a blistering knock of 182 runs and thereby altered the record books. The Bazball style of play which has now become a trademark of England's Test team was again prevalent in the Engalnd's innings and as always the initiative was taken by the openers. Ben Duckett and Zack Crawley gave England a fiery start and while Crawley fell after registering a quick half-century, Duckett continued and did not stop until holding out. In the process, Duckett went past the legendary Don Bradman and many other batsmen like former England captain Kevin Pietersen and Robert Key.

"I will remember that match against Worcestershire for the rest of my life," Duckett says now. "It was a big learning curve for me. "The whole game rested on me, and 99 times out of 100, I'd get the team over the line there. But I messed up in that last moment. I could have been the hero, but I missed that last ball and yeah, it was a bit of a shock. I made one mistake and it costs us the competition. • Preview: Can Notts become Blast's first back-to-back champions? • Hopps: Blast prepares to relaunch amid summer of uncertainty • Notts suffer Blast blow as Christian departs for Australia • Lessons of 2019 serve Duckett well in Blast final triumph • Stokes eyes Blast comeback as white-ball players return to action "A great example is Ben Stokes.

But he bounced back from that and won England the World Cup final a few years later. Duckett and co. will have another chance to "get over the line' when their Vitality Blast campaign starts on Wednesday with a televised fixture away against Worcestershire. They have lost their captain, Dan Christian, Pakistan allrounder Imad Wasim and Chris Nash, the top-order batter, from the team that won last year. But with "Joe is a quality player.
