“I could have gone to the IPL, spent time on the sidelines, then rushed back into the Test summer. I wouldn’t have time to process the winter (Ashes), learn from mistakes, and go back to the drawing board with Notts,” added Duckett, who will be working with Nottinghamshire head coach Peter Moores.
On his part, Duckett apologised for the excessive drinking incident in Noosa during a mid-Ashes break.
“I am sorry for that incident, it was not professional and shouldn’t have happened. There is no hiding away from it,” he said.
“My expectations were more (runs) than what I managed (in Ashes), but facing Starc with the new ball at 90mph every innings, was extremely tough work. No one is more frustrated with how I went than me,” Duckett said.
