BEN DUCKETT will keep putting his hand up for England duty - despite fears that a congested schedule will cause player burnout.
Just 48 hours after the conclusion of the one-day international series against Australia, Duckett was on a plane to Multan for England's three-match Test tour against Pakistan, which gets underway on Monday.
Duckett's duties as first-choice Test opener take precedence over his involvement in an ODI series in the West Indies, starting on October 31, three days after the end of the Pakistan trip.
He also seems likely to miss out on the five T20s in the Caribbean which follow the three ODIs, with the aim of being fresh for England's three Tests in New Zealand before Christmas.
"I don't want to be missing cricket for England," said Duckett.
