Duckett withdraws from IPL to focus on keeping England spot

Ben Duckett has pulled out of the Indian Premier League in a bid to keep hold of his England place following a dire winter.

The left-hander was widely touted as the world's best all-format opener not so long ago but a nosedive in form towards the end of last summer bled into the winter, where he made just one score north of fifty in 16 innings.
