Ben Duckett stresses England's commitment to winning games

Ben Duckett has expressed that England's recent poor performance in white-ball cricket is a source of deep disappointment for the team. Since the start of the year, England has lost ten out of eleven matches, finishing at the bottom of their group in the Champions Trophy in Pakistan. This struggling performance led to Jos Buttler resigning as captain. Duckett emphasized the pain felt by the players after these losses. He said that while some comments made during the series against India might imply indifference, the reality is quite different. Duckett wants to win each game and stated that the team is very committed to improving their results. The opener acknowledged that the team's approach might need adjustments, but he confirmed that their desire to win remains strong. He noted that the recent two months in India and Pakistan were particularly challenging and that he is eager for the team to perform better in the upcoming summer. In addition to reflecting on the team's struggles, Duckett shared his plans for the future. He intends to take a break from the early part of the Rothesay County Championship to ensure he is fully prepared for a five-Test series against India. Duckett wants to be in the best shape and mindset for this challenging upcoming schedule. Moreover, he recently deleted his X account after his comments about facing India's Jasprit Bumrah were misinterpreted. He acknowledged that Bumrah is one of the toughest bowlers in the world but felt it was best for him to step away from social media for his own well-being.
