And with many of the 30-somethings who have fallen so short in India being omitted from the trip to the Caribbean, a new-look one-day side will include the Test-match top three of Duckett, Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/13\/19\/77753959-0-image-a-45_1699905111538.jpg\" height=\"734\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>England batter Ben Duckett wants to take the Caribbean by storm next month<\/p>\n<p>Once, England used the one-day team as the route into Test cricket. Then, under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, the Test side copied their one-day counterparts\u2019 aggression.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, with Key observing that the 50-over team has gone away from the style that helped make England double white-ball world champions, it is as if the wheel has turned full circle.<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old Duckett hesitates to call himself young, but admits: \u2018The exciting brand that the likes of me, Zak and Popey play is exactly what England want in both formats. It will be an opportunity for some fresh faces to go and show what they can do.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019ve always found I don\u2019t have a different gameplan for Test match, 50-over and T20. In the past I\u2019d always say you just take a few more risks in T20, whereas now I\u2019m running at Josh Hazlewood in a Test match on day one.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There\u2019s also Harry Brook, Will Jacks and Phil Salt &#8211; there are so many names. All those guys are playing a similar brand of cricket throughout the formats, which makes life a lot easier.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Duckett does not believe that the squad for the Caribbean spells the end for England\u2019s Class of 2019, and says the selectors were always going to look elsewhere for a trip that starts so soon after the World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>He says he was told he was \u2018pretty close\u2019 to selection for the tournament himself, and found it \u2018tough\u2019 to watch England lose six games out of nine.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/13\/19\/77753949-0-image-a-46_1699905124069.jpg\" height=\"432\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old\u00a0has been at the heart of England\u2019s Bazball revolution in Test cricket<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019m sure the lads are more gutted than anyone,\u2019 he said. \u2018It\u2019s a side that were good enough to go and win. I\u2019m looking at half or three-quarters of that squad, and the timing being straight after the English summer. All the lads have been playing so much cricket.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I felt for them flying straight off at the end of the summer, with no break, going straight to a World Cup in India. It must have been incredibly hard, and there must have been tired bodies.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Duckett, by contrast, has had six weeks off after the end of a summer in which he opened in all five Ashes Tests and made an unbeaten 107 off 78 balls in an ODI against Ireland in Bristol.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019ve had a really nice break, and I feel fresh and ready to go.\u2019 Music, after the last few weeks, to English ears.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/article-12744725\/England-batter-Ben-Duckett-seize-big-chance-impress-Caribbean-watching-tired-team-mates-struggle-World-Cup.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>England batter Ben Duckett out to seize his big chance to impress in the Caribbean after watching his &#8216;tired&#8217;
