England's Champions Trophy prospects have received a boost after Ben Duckett was given the all-clear, following a left groin injury sustained during last week's ODI series against India. Duckett's form at the top of the order had been one of the positives for England in an otherwise disappointing campaign.

“Scans on a left groin injury have confirmed that England Men’s batter Ben Duckett is fit and available for the ICC Champions Trophy,” a statement from the England and Wales Cricket Board read. “Duckett sustained the injury while fielding during the first innings of England’s third ODI defeat to India in Ahmedabad last Wednesday.”

In a massive boost to England’s chances of tasting success in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, opener Ben Duckett has passed the fitness test, getting cleared of a left groin injury scare he suffered during the third ODI against India in Ahmedabad.
