The last couple of weeks, according to Ben Duckett, have seen lots of dinners and celebrating, to the extent that he has not had a moment to pause for thought about his imminent England debut.That debut seemed closer the moment that England touched down in Bangladesh and, a couple of hours later, the team coach pulled into a Dhaka hotel under the sort of heavy security that will be a daily feature of the tour in response to a terrorist atrocity in the capital three months ago.On Friday, Duckett seems set to replace Alex Hales in the first ODI against Bangladesh. Later in the month, he will battle another newcomer, Haseeb Hameed, for the right to open with Alastair Cook in the two Test matches.The recent celebrations have been for a raft of end of season awards - from his club Northamptonshire, the Cricket Writers Club and the PCA, where he did an unprecedented double - but really they have been coming all summer.It was a remarkable season which began with an unbeaten 282 against Sussex (only rain prevented him reaching 300 and he is quick to quip that I blame the groundsman a bit, but Ill take the red ink) and which never let up: two more double-tons would follow, including 220 not out against Sri Lanka A for England Lions. There were another two Championship tons, as well as 163 against Pakistan A, a One-Day Cup century, and a starring role on Northants Finals Day fairytale in the NatWest Blast. In all, there were 2,706 reasons to celebrate.That innings against Sussex was something I didnt believe I could do in my whole career, Duckett reflected, so to start the season off like that against a good attack did give me that belief that I could score big, big hundreds. If you start badly, it can be a tough summer. But I was in good form early on and tried to continue it throughout.Continue it throughout he did, bookending his season with 208 against Kent in the penultimate game. Now, he has time to consider international cricket.Daunted does not seem to be a word in Ducketts dictionary. Being here now tops it off, he said. Hopefully people know Im a relaxed guy, and even if I am worried Ill tell myself that Im not. There are a couple of guys resting for this tour and there are available spots, but Im not expecting anything. Im on an England tour at the age of 21, Im very happy, so Ill take whatever I can get. When collecting his CWC Young Player of the Year award last week, Duckett drew laughs when he referred to that little period between 100 and 150. If it sounds like a witticism, it isnt - it is a display of Ducketts insatiable appetite for runs. The smallest of his four Championship tons was 185, and his 1338 red-ball runs were scored at a strike rate of 79.45. That is something that will not change.That sounded bad, he smiled, but a lot of people get 100 and get out, so its important to concentrate, get through that period to 150 then the pressure is off, the fielders are all out, and you can just knock it around. That period after reaching 100, bowlers see that as an opportunity as they might nick you off, and I found that if I could get away again, they would start trying to bowl against the other guy.All Ducketts achievements this summer - which are outrageous, really, for a cricketer not 22 until halfway through this tour - suggest a player to the manner born. But it really has not been that simple. It is not yet three years since he was banished from an England Under-19 tour he was captaining for poor fitness, while last summer he received a ban for drink-driving.I definitely havent made things easy for myself over the last few years. I have matured and am trying to let the cricket do the talking. These days I make sure I do all the simple things off the field - turning up on time etc. On the field, Ive just got to keep scoring runs and only positive things will be said.I was 17, 18, just finishing school going into the world of professional cricket. It was very different for me, I was in a different world from my mates who I was hanging around with, but now Im head down and focused on cricket.Northants coach David Ripley gave him an opporttunity at the top of the order whilst encouraging him to remain true to his adventurous inclindations. At times in the past Ive tried to be a player that Im not, which is why I havent been successful. This year I played with freedom. Rips told me to play my game - at times that wont come off, but when it does, cash in and that has been the main thing for me this year.And now he knows his natural game, will he adjust for the top level? Ducketts not for changing: If I do get that chance… the way I score runs is playing attackingly so I dont see why Id change to be a blocker and bat all day. There will be times that Ill need to adapt to do that, but generally Ill play the way I have played to get here.

Brad Jacobs and his Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., team took control of the game early. The Minnesota Vikings are preparing as if running back Adrian Peterson will miss this weeks game with the knee injury he suffered on Sunday, a league source told ESPNs Ed Werder on Wednesday.Peterson has been provided with multiple options about how to treat what coach Mike Zimmer said Monday was a torn meniscus and is deliberating how to proceed. The running back is waiting to hear back from Dr. James Andrews, who performed extensive surgery on Petersons knee in 2011, before he makes a decision, a source told ESPNs Ben Goessling.Surgery on a torn meniscus is not uncommon, and the recovery time can be anywhere from one week to three to four weeks depending on the location and severity of the tear.Peterson slightly twisted his knee at the end of a 5-yard run. His right foot was briefly stuck under the upper leg of Kyler Fackrell as the Packers linebacker brought him to the ground. Peterson left with 3:32 to play in the third quarter.He hobbled off the field with the assistance of athletic trainers. After being examined on the sideline, Peterson hopped through a field-level club at the teams new stadium toward the Vikings locker room.Upon arriving in the locker room, Peterson was quickly ruled out.He was later seen using crutches with a large black brace around the knee.The 2015 NFL rushing leader, who had just 19 carries for 31 yards in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans, wwas injured on his longest run of the night.ddddddddddddHe had gained only 19 yards on 12 carries, although his presence had helped Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford hit Stefon Diggs on a pair of long strikes when the Packers were loading up to stop Peterson.Peterson suffered a devastating left knee injury in 2011 -- tearing both his ACL and MCL -- only to bounce back and rush for 2,097 yards in the 2012 regular season.If Peterson were unable to play against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, the Vikings could turn to Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon, who combined to run for 1,108 yards in 2014 while Peterson missed 15 games because of NFL discipline.I have a lot of confidence in those two guys, Zimmer said Monday. Theyre both different types of runners, but I think the combination of the two can help us.The injury to Peterson is the latest blow to the Vikings. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater?tore multiple knee ligaments on Aug. 30, and the team started the season with two different quarterbacks after trading for Bradford on Sept. 3. The Vikings, though, are 2-0 and in sole possession of first place in the NFC North.Everything we do is for the team. Were not going to be the only team to have injuries, Zimmer said. So were going to keep plugging away. ' ' '
