#2 Ben Duckett's emergence
The young Ben Duckett was touted to be a brilliant talent ever since his emergence in County Cricket. Yet it was a stint with England Lions that earned him a killer reputation. In a Tri-Series involving Sri Lanka A and Pakistan A in July 2016, Duckett smashed 163* in just 104 balls and followed that up with a double hundred (220*) in just 131 balls, forming an unbeaten second wicket 367 run stand with Daniel Bell-Drummond.
Duckett symbolises everything that England lacked in the 2015 World Cup. His twin fifties in the series means he is a real threat to a lacklustre James Vince, when England selectors sit down to select a team for India. It will be a surprise if Duckett doesn't make the cut after his performance in Bangladesh.
Duckett is an inventive cricketer with a large number of shots in his repertoire. He scores surprisingly quickly without hogging a lot of limelight. Those drives and ramps are going to form a big part of England's future limited-overs plans.
