England opening batsman Duckett fit for Champions Trophy

England's prospects for the Champions Trophy received a boost on Saturday when opening batsman Ben Duckett was passed fit for the one-day international tournament.

Text size:

Duckett suffered a problem in his left groin during England's crushing 142-run loss to India in the third ODI in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.

His injury placed a question mark over the 30-year-old's availability for the Champions Trophy, which starts in Pakistan next week and features the eight top-ranked ODI teams qualified from the 2023 50-over World Cup.

But the dashing left-hander has now been given the all clear following a scan, with an England and Wales Cricket Board statement saying: "Scans on a left groin injury have confirmed that England Men's batter Ben Duckett is fit and available for the ICC Champions Trophy.

"Duckett sustained the injury while fielding during the first innings of England’s third ODI defeat to India in Ahmedabad last Wednesday."

England are set to arrive in Pakistan on Tuesday before they begin their Champions Trophy campaign against oldest rivals Australia in Lahore on Saturday, with all-rounder Jacob Bethell ruled out because of a hamstring injury and replaced by Tom Banton.

Since winning the 2019 World Cup and 2022 T20 World Cup, England have struggled in white-ball cricket with Wednesday's thumping defeat condemning them to a 3-0 series loss against India in what was Test coach Brendon McCullum's first ODI campaign since he also took charge of the limited-overs side.
