Duckett on Eng's radar

Northamptonshire batsman Ben Duckett is being watched closely by the England management ahead of next month's tour of Bangladesh, his county coach said Monday.

England are due to play three one-day internationals and two Tests in Bangladesh in October.

The uncapped 21-year-old left-hander has been in superb form this season, scoring 1,043 runs in the County Championship at an average of 54.89.

In July he struck a blistering 220 not out off 131 balls for string England Lions in a one-day game against Sri Lanka A.

"I'm having some good communication with (England selector) James Whitaker and England about how they are viewing him [Duckett] and how close he is," Northamptonshire coach David Ripley told the BBC on Monday.
