International career

He scored 60 as England made 309 to win the game by 21 runs. He was out for a duck in the second game, which England lost.

2016 India
Duckett was selected for the tour to India though for batting at 4 with Haseeb Hameed opening. In the first Test between the two sides, he made 13 in the first innings and did not bat in the second as the match ended in a draw. In the second Test, he made five as England were dismissed for 255, and was out for a duck in the second innings as England went on to lose the match by 246 runs. He was dropped after the 2nd Test after a relatively poor series.

2017–18 Ashes tour
Duckett was deselected from the England senior team picked to face a Cricket Australia XI as part the 2017-18 Ashes tour following an incident in a Perth bar. Duckett was alleged to have poured a drink over teammate James Anderson. Duckett was later suspended from playing in the final three England Lions games of the tour, and issued with a fine. He was also dropped for the 2018 England Lions tour of the West Indies on account of the incident.

2019 Pakistan
In April 2019, Duckett was added to England's Twenty20 International (T20I) squad for their one-off match against Pakistan. He made his T20I debut for England against Pakistan on 5 May 2019.

2022
Duckett came into the England side on a tour of Pakistan in late 2022. He was seen as having the skill necessary for the so-called Bazball style of cricket adopted by the England team under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum. The decision brought immediate success with Zak Crawley and Duckett scoring the fastest ever England century opening stand (83 balls), and Crawley and Duckett scoring the fastest double-century partnership in Test cricket history (233 balls). Duckett remained in the side for the rest of the series.

In September he made his first One Day International century with an unbeaten 107 off 78 balls against Ireland at Bristol County Ground.

2024
In May 2024, he was named in England’s squad for the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup tournament. Selected for the home Test series against the West Indies, Duckett made 71 off 59 deliveries, including a 32-ball 50 and 14 boundaries, in first innings of the second Test at Trent Bridge. He then hit 76 from 92 balls in the second innings.

2025
In February 2025, Ben Duckett made history with a brilliant innings in the ICC Champions Trophy. Ben Duckett scored 165 runs off 143 balls against Australia, hitting 17 fours and three sixes. This was the highest individual score ever in the tournament’s history until Ibrahim Zadran broke Duckett's record in the 8th match between Afghanistan and England in ICC Champions Trophy. Duckett also recorded the fifth-highest ODI score for England and the fourth-highest in Pakistan.
