BEN Duckett will be able to concentrate 100 per cent on his batting again this summer following Northamptonshire’s capture of a back-up keeper in Ricardo Vasconcelos.
South African Vasconcelos, 20, who initiated the deal, qualifies as a domestic player through his Portuguese passport and will provide cover for Adam Rossington behind the stumps.
And Northants head coach David Ripley revealed that the county are happy to have Duckett focused solely on scoring runs.
“Ben’s batting over the last two and a half seasons has been sensational in all formats and he’s got international recognition in Test and 50-over cricket from that,” he said.
“He has not been keeping wicket in that time and we want him to score runs. If we need someone for 50-over or T20 I’m sure he will get involved if we thought that was the right selection.
“In Championship cricket I don’t think he’ll keep, it will be good for all parties.
