- He withdrew from the Indian Premier League with Delhi Capitals to play for Nottinghamshire, turning down a deal worth about 20 million rupees.
- Duckett called his returns in Australia substandard after scoring 202 runs at an average of 20.20.
- He thanked Ben Stokes, Brendon McCullum and Rob Key for support and said his place for the June 4 Test against New Zealand is not assured.
