Ben Duckett 決定するd to cash in on 適切な時期 with England
A leaner Ben Duckett has credited a zeal for fitness during the 最近の lockdown with 改善するing his mindset 同様に as his 人物／姿／数字 ahead of England’s one-day international series against Ireland.
Duckett was の中で the 広大な 大多数 of 郡 cricketers to be furloughed まっただ中に the coronavirus pandemic but rather than waste his days and weeks, the Nottinghamshire batsman 解決するd to hone his 条件ing.
The left-hander 自由に 収容する／認めるs that has not 以前 been at the 最高の，を越す of his 協議事項 but he 見積（る）s he has lost around a 石／投石する and a half thanks to 正規の／正選手 runs, cycles and high-intensity interval training 開会／開廷／会期s.
He believes he has already felt the 利益 after returning to training at Trent 橋（渡しをする） and hopes that continues at the Ageas Bowl, where he is part of a 24-man group 準備するing for three ODIs against Andrew Balbirnie’s 味方する.
Duckett told the PA news 機関: “My fitness hasn’t やむを得ず been prioritised over the years so I just used the lockdown to try and get in good 形態／調整 and work as hard as I’ve ever done.
“I’ve lost around nine or 10kg ? and at the start of lockdown after working hard all winter, I wasn’t 現実に in bad 形態／調整 at all.

“The fitness 味方する of things hasn’t made me a better batsman, but it’s more just the mental 味方する of things. When you’re not やめる as fit, you 潜在的に tend to worry, you don’t enjoy the fitness 味方する of stuff.
“But because I’m feeling so fit ? even before getting to training or 激しく揺するing up at the ground I’m already in a 広大な／多数の／重要な 長，率いる space and feel so good mentally that whatever we do that day, I know I’m ready for.”
Such an att itude 示唆するs greater 成熟 from Duckett, who was 一時停止するd, 罰金d and given a final written 警告 by England after 注ぐing a beer over James Anderson’s 長，率いる during the 2017/18 Ashes 小旅行する in a minor ? even trivial ? infraction that was 高くする，増すd because of others’ indiscretions beforehand.
Duckett said: “I don’t think I’m going to change as a character and やむを得ず go under the レーダ all the time.
“I want to keep my character but work extra hard and even harder than I used to work, so when I’m at the ground and playing I want to be training just as hard as everyone else, if not harder.”
Still only 25, Duckett, who has featured in four 実験（する）s, three ODIs and one T20, hopes he can impress over the next few days and in the couple of intra-squad matches this week to earn a place in England’s final 50-over squad.
He said: “It is a 大規模な chance to put my foot in the door. I just want to do everything possible in the （軍の）野営地，陣営 ? training, batting, whatever it is and just do 同様に as I can.
“I think the good thing I’ve had is I’ve had a taster (with England), I know what it’s like. If I was 25 and I was about to make my debut and then you got knocked 支援する a couple of years, suddenly you’re 27 or 28.
“But because I’ve had that taster, there’s going to be no shocks for me どれでも if I was to get 支援する into that England 味方する.”
Duckett has more 推論する／理由 than most in wanting to get 支援する to the crease as, in his last innings, he was unable to get Nottinghamshire over the line against Worcestershire in their Vitality 爆破 半分-final last September.
Needing just one run from the final ball, Duckett did not connect with Wayne Parnell’s 配達／演説／出産. It was a moment of horror for Duckett but he 主張するs he would relish 存在 現在のd with a 類似の シナリオ in 未来.
He 追加するd: “That was a 堅い pill to swallow, it did really, really 傷つける me and probably took me a couple of months to get over it.
“But the character that I am and want to be, if I could look 今後 I want to be there in the 半分-final this year of the T20 in the exact 状況／情勢 and I get the boys over the line (because) I love those 状況／情勢s.”
