Duckett Test Match Debut

20 October 2016

Ben Duckett will open the batting for England today in the England v Bangladesh Test Match. He is our first ever Old Stoic Test Match Player!

Ben has scored four fifties in six innings on tour and batted at a tempo England believe will make a good combination with Alastair Cook and maximise the new ball, often the best time to score runs in this part of the world.

Ben, who earlier this week turned 22, has opened the batting for Northamptonshire over the past two seasons and said earlier this week that this would be his preferred position in the team if selected.

This is the latest in a succession of achievements for Ben having been selected for England earlier this month.
