In his latest blog for Sky Sports, Ben Duckett reflects on a fantastic first Test for England in India despite the disappointment of it ending in a draw, and answers your Twitter questions...The boys put in an unbelievable performance in the first Test in Rajkot.Obviously it was a shame we couldnt quite get those final four India wickets and start the series with a win, but were all very proud of our efforts, and cant wait for the second Test to start on Thursday. Hasseb Hameed had a debut to remember, and I thought our spinners were excellent - I had a particularly good vantage point to watch them from at slip. England head coach Trevor Bayliss compares Haseeb Hameed to Kumar Sangakkara after his impressive debut Obviously Adil Rashid, with his seven wickets, stood out, but I also thought Moeen Ali and Zafar Ansari bowled brilliantly, but without much luck.Right, time to answer some of your Twitter questions...What has been your favourite moment in an England shirt so far? - ‏@Cesced4I think it has to be winning my debut Test against Bangladesh in Chittagong. Over my international career, I expect to have ups and downs as an individual, but its success as a team - getting to celebrate with your team-mates - that are the most special moments. Six months half price Upgrade to Sky Sports to watch Man Utd v Arsenal on Saturday and get the first six months half price Who is the best table tennis player in the England team? - @Harry__HughesyIve been practising really hard, but Im not at the standard of some of the others yet. Of the boys that play it regularly, I hate to say it, but I think Gary Ballance is the best.Who is the most entertaining in the dressing room? - @Guly_MullaaaThats a difficult one to say. There are a few funny lads in the dressing room, and Im still only just getting to know a lot of them. But Id probably say Joe Root - just look at that Bob Willis impression he did, or whatever that was, last year. Watch to see if Ian Ward is interviewing Sky Sports Bob Willis or England batsman Joe Root Englands win in the 2015 Ashes Who in the England cricket team who do you look up to the most? - ‏@erzrocksAgain, Rooty. Obviously the skipper, Alastair Cook, is someone who I hugely admire. It is great to be able to play under him and learn from someone with such great experience, but Root is someone who I particularly look up to from a batting perspective - he plays in the manner Id like to for England, being positive and taking the game to the opposition.How many curries you had in tour so far on tour? - ‏@FrankEntwistleA lot. Particularly at the grounds during the games, at lunch. My curry of choice is butter chicken; pretty standard.How are the batsmen feeling after very good performance in the first Test? - ‏@piyushkashypxivEveryones feeling very good. Its a very positive dressing room at the best of times anyway, and was so even after the disappointment of losing the second Test to Bangladesh in Dhaka. To have three centurions in the first innings, and four in the Test was amazing, though obviously it was disappointing I couldnt score heavily myself. I feel in good nick though going into the second Test.Do you think Haseeb Hammed will be a future star? - @SimplyPogba1Its difficult to say, as its still so early in his career. But a few of us sitting on the balcony during his innings were saying how amazingly at home he looked in just his first Test. He bats like hes already a Test match veteran. Nothing seems to faze him. Former England captain Willis is predicting a long and successful Test career for Hameed Playing your reverse sweep, at what point do you decide to play the shot? - @harryjw_For me personally, when I play the reverse-sweep its completely pre-meditated. I try to get into position as early as possible, before even the bowler has released the ball.What was your biggest challenge when switching from first-class cricket to international? - @ShahzaibQ98Obviously Im still new to international cricket, so I can only really talk about what Ive faced so far - so in that sense, playing against high-quality spinners like Ravi Ashwin, No 1 in the world, and on turning tracks in the sub-continent, is unlike anything Ive ever faced in county cricket.What other player(s) from your England Under-19 days do you expect to join you one day in the senior team? - @T0MP0TTERJoe Clarke at Worcestershire is an unbelievable batsman and has already earned a call-up for the England Lions this winter. Plus, theres Matthew Fisher at Yorkshire - he was already leading our attack when aged just 16. Hes a very skilful seam bowler.

Unfortunately there were a number of moving pieces related to London that shortened our window in an effort to try to find common ground on that happening, and we werent able to get it done in time.Clark also was noncommittal about having players on 25-man active rosters made available for the 2020 Olympics, which will be held in Tokyo from July 24 to Aug. 9. The International Olympic Committee executive board voted last monthh to support a six-nation tournament that year in both baseball and womens softball, and the full IOC is to vote in August.dddddddddddd.Baseball became a medal sport for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics but was dropped for the 2012 London Games and wont be played this year in Rio de Janeiro. In 2008, only those not on 25-man big league rosters as of late June were allowed to compete; the U.S. team included Jake Arrieta and Stephen Strasburg -- both All-Stars this year.Is there an appreciation for the value of having baseball in the Olympics? Yes, there is, Clark said. Is there an appreciation for the season and how or if it could work with our active players? Yeah, theres a conversation, but we run into the same roadblocks we always have. ' ' '
