Our Ben takes to opening like Duck to water

'HE CAN SET TONE FOR US IN EVERY FORMAT'
ENGLAND captain Jos Buttler is backing Ben Duckett to open the batting in all formats.
The busy left-hander will accompany Phil Salt at the top of the order for today's first T20 against India. Duckett has been tone-setter the in Tests for the past couple of years, and nailed down a spot in the ODI side with some eye-catching shows against Australia last summer.
While he has a dozen T20 caps, Duckett has not opened in the format for England since his debut in 2019.
A vacancy, though, has arisen with Buttler staying at No 3 and Will Jacks out of the squad.
Duckett may lack explosiveness but shows intent through his canny 360-degree strokeplay and proficiency on the sweep, and could be England's answer to Australian David Warner.
