ENG V WI Test: Dan Lawrence On Standby As Duckett Awaits Birth Of His Child, Says Ben Stokes
Dan Lawrence: Ahead of England’s second Test against the West Indies at Trent Bridge, captain Ben Stokes said right-handed batter Dan Lawrence is on standby as left-handed opener Ben Duckett is awaiting the birth of his first child.
England have named Duckett in their playing eleven for the second Test starting on Thursday morning. But in case Duckett is needed to be around his fiance Paige for the birth of their first child provided the situation changes before the toss, Lawrence will come into the eleven in that case, as a contingency plan made by England.
"There is a plan and place for Ben and his partner. We will have to make a decision if it was to happen before the game and we were batting but if it happens during the Test Ben will go and come back into the team."
