Ben Duckett selected for England warm-up match
Wednesday 5 October 2016 05:46, UK
Ben Duckett was given a chance to press his claims for an England spot in the one-day series against Bangladesh as he was selected in the team's only practice match in Fatullah.
However, it will be James Vince who partners Jason Roy at the top of the order, with Duckett, who was named in both ODI and Test squads after shining with Northamptonshire and England Lions over the summer, at three against a Bangladesh Cricket Board Select XI.
Moeen Ali, another in the reckoning to replace Alex Hales - who, along with limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan, misses the tour due to security fears - is at his customary position of seven.
Jonny Bairstow takes Morgan's place at four, while Nottinghamshire seamer Jake Ball, uncapped in ODIs, has been included.
The warm-up fixture represents England's only game before they take on the Tigers in a three-match ODI series, which starts on Friday in Dhaka, and they were put into the field first in hot and humid conditions.
