Ben Duckett, whose Twitter timeline is a constant stream of banter, and musings on British dating reality show Love Island, turned his attention to county cricket's latest recruit, R Ashwin. Ashwin has signed for Worcestershire following India's Test series win in Sri Lanka, and his side play in the second division of the County Championship, where his bunny Duckett plies his trade for Northamptonshire.
In a nod to his struggles during England's tour of India last year, where Ashwin dismissed him three times for a grand total of 18 runs, Duckett offered the Indian offspinner a cheeky welcome to county cricket.
Shame we've already played Worcester twice https://t.co/ZyLURZPQAF

A shame then, that the two wouldn't be facing off in more familiar climes for Duckett, who has made four fifties and two hundreds in first-class cricket this season.
