I am completely ready for every scheme of India: Ben Duckett Ben Duckett further said, ‘We played a lot of spin bowling in Abu Dhabi and now it will be very interesting to see how we perform here in India.

Mark Butcher said on the Wisden Cricket Weekly podcast, ‘The one thing they did to save Test cricket was the World Test Championship. The point is that your bilateral series has to capture the imagination of the fans and the players of the two countries playing in it. Then there’s the wider audience of cricket and the only way to do that is to be competitive and it’s always been that way. It’s like surrender: Mark Butcher Mark Butcher further said, ‘Wherever this has happened, change has been seen. There has also been an increase in the salaries of players. I have no problem with all these things that are being discussed between the board and the players but this is like surrender.
