Duckett Takes Responsibility for Actions During Ashes
England cricketer Ben Duckett acknowledges his off-field mistakes during the Ashes, stating that he has no justification for his behavior and is committed to adopting a more professional approach to extend his England career. Duckett averaged a mere 20.20 in Australia, with his highest score being 42, as England suffered a 4-1 defeat. He has since withdrawn from an Indian Premier League deal with Delhi Capitals and will focus on red-ball cricket for Nottinghamshire ahead of the first Test against New Zealand in June. In an interview with Sky Sports News, Duckett expressed his determination to improve his public image and minimize injuries to prolong his career. He reflected on his disappointing performance in the Ashes, attributing it to the strong Australian bowling unit, and emphasized the need for England to 'tighten up' while maintaining their positive mindset to achieve consistent wins and become one of the world's top teams.
