Ben Duckett's Speeding Conviction: Impact on Test Comeback

0:00On March 31, England cricketer bin-ducket just got hit with a speeding conviction, clocked at 93 miles per hour in A, 70mph on the A-15-year stoke. The court fined him 700 pounds, slapped four points on his license, and added another 400 bucks in costs and surcharges. This drops right as he dished a 200,000 pound Indian Premier League deal with the Delhi capitals to lock down his spot as a test opener. He's been fighting to bounce back after a rough year of poor form and off-field drama, including a drunken night out during last winter's ashes tour. In Australia, Duckett pulled out of the IPO last week to grind county cricket and prep for England summer tests against New Zealand. Fans and pundits are buzzing about whether this latest slip-up hurts his international comeback. He's apologized publicly for the news incident where he was filmed wasted, calling it unprofessional, and owning the big dip in his batting. The speeding bus happened just after 130pm on August 24th, right before he starred in

1:00a 100 win for Birmingham Phoenix. Staffordshire cops pushed for court over and out of court fine because of the high speed, and he pleaded guilty online without a hearing. Duckett's no stranger to trouble. He got a 12-month driving ban back in 2015 for drink driving as a young prospect. Now with these fresh penalties, he's got to pay up over 1100 pounds total while eyeing that test team revival.
