Duckett Ditches IPL 2026 for Test Comeback

Ben Duckett has made the big call to pull out of IPL 2026, choosing to focus on reviving his Test career instead. The England opener was snapped up by Delhi Capitals for INR 2 crore, but it looks like he's got his eyes set on the longer format.

This decision marks a significant shift for Duckett, who has never graced the IPL stage before. It's a gamble that could pay off if he nails his Test performances and gets back in the selectors' good books. After all, the red-ball game is where he can really showcase his skills, away from the T20 razzmatazz.

Fans will be keen to see how this plays out. Will Duckett’s focus on Test cricket lead to a stellar comeback, or will he miss out on the IPL magic? Either way, it’s a bold move that could redefine his career trajectory.
