Duckett promises ‘confidence’ in Australia ODIs after dismal Ashes

England batter Ben Duckett stated that facing Australia in next month's three-match ODI series will be a completely different task compared to his difficult Ashes campaign. Duckett enters the tour with renewed confidence after scoring a career-best 167 against Sri Lanka in Lahore, rounding off a tri-series in Pakistan where he hit two centuries. England's upcoming white-ball tour begins with the opening ODI in Perth on November 13.

Duckett holds an impressive one-day record against Australia, averaging 78.33 across six matches with two previous centuries. Despite England finishing bottom of the tri-series in Pakistan, Duckett's opening partnership with Tom Banton flourished, averaging 71 together. England will face selection decisions ahead of the three ODIs and five T20Is in Australia, with Jacob Bethell returning from a knee injury.
