Opener Ben Duckett says he does not care if England are beaten 3-0 in their one-day series in India, as long as they win the Champions Trophy.
"We have come here for one thing and that is to win the Champions Trophy," said Duckett. "We still believe we can do that. It'll be completely different conditions, all different teams we are playing against. England, once simultaneously world champions in both limited-overs formats, are looking to rebuild after an awful period which included lacklustre performances at the 50-over World Cup in 2023 and again at the T20 version last year.
"It's about peaking at the right time," said Duckett. "We have been close against this India side and we have been nowhere near our best. We will always take positives.
