‘England captaincy would be a dream’

Agency:

England Ben Duckett said it would be a dream to captain his country but the top-order batter has no idea if he is even in the running to replace Jos Buttler as limited-overs skipper.

Wicketkeeper-batter Buttler stepped down from the role on February 28, three days after England’s group-stage exit at the Champions Trophy, with Harry Brook considered a front-runner to replace him.

Asked if he would be interested in taking over the vacant role, Duckett told Sky Sports: “To captain England would obviously be a dream. I don’t think it’s on the radar but I don’t know that, which is why I am answering like that.
