Ben Duckett was fined 700 GBP for speeding near Stoke in Staffordshire in August 2025. This incident adds to a series of negative events for the England opener, including criticism for partying habits in Australia and withdrawing from the Delhi Capitals squad in IPL 2026. Duckett was driving at 93 mph on the A50 motorway, exceeding the 70 mph speed limit on the day of a match in The Hundred. He also received four penalty points on his license. Duckett’s reputation took a hit after being involved in controversial incidents during the Ashes series and T20 World Cup. In an effort to regain goodwill, Duckett chose to focus on County Championship cricket over playing in the IPL, despite being bought by Delhi Capitals for INR 2 crore. He expressed regret for missing out on the opportunity but prioritized preparing for the upcoming cricket season. Duckett aims to bounce back from a challenging period and rebuild his career.
