Ben Duckett to miss West Indies tour after off-field incident

Thursday, 21 December 2017 07:00

Cricket board officials have confirmed, Ben Duckett has been removed from the England Lions squad in their upcoming tour of the West Indies because of his behaviour in Australia.

The Northamptonshire batsman received a final written warning over his conduct and was also fined after pouring a drink over England's senior and Lions players James Anderson in a bar in Perth earlier this month.

The 23-year-old will now miss the four-day and limited-overs matches against West Indies A in February and March, instead Keaton Jennings will captain the squad.
