Ben Duckett insists that the final score on this tour of India will insigny whether England completes its mission of winning a first champions trophy next month.
The successive losses of four wickt have left a team from England that the chief coach Brendon McCullum has again formed a team of England to the edge of a laundering of a day and a general deficit of 1-7 in the eight limited games.
However, Duckett said: 'This is a massive series, but the Champions Trophy is the great competition. If we lose 3-0 in India, I don't care while we defeat them in the Champions League trophy final. If we do that, we will probably not look back in this.
'We are playing one of the best sides in the world in their conditions and we are a rather new group under Baz. We have come here for one thing, and that is to win the Champions Trophy.
'It will be completely different. Different conditions, all the different teams against which we are playing. I feel that we have a good group for these conditions and we hope people reach people at the right time and the way of finding. It is difficult not to get the results here, but I hope we can turn it in Pakistan.
England losing a series of one day in India is nothing new. This is his consecutive seventh and you have to return to 1984 since the last time they won here.
Ben Duckett says that “he will not care” for the defeat of England's ODI series against India, as long as they are defeated in the Champions Trophy final
England has already lost the ODI series and run the risk of a laundering against India
India has defeated England in seven consecutive one -day international series on its grass
Frustively, their defeats in Nagpur and Cuttack have followed similar issues: the lack of construction in the opening positions of 75 and 81 between Duckett and Phil Salt, leaving them before publishing winning scores of matches.
But when trying to change a general disappearance of 32 losses in 62 outings since he won the World Cup six years ago, they are still committed to the Bazballian principles that have transformed the Test Cricket of England.
'I could withdraw individual players, just check the group's talent. We have been close to this side of India and we have not been close to our best, “Duckett said.
'We will always take positive. We could live and start meetings and go to each other, but the group under Baz is not going to do that. It is finding the positive aspects, observing how we can be better in situations, but we are not going to take a backward step. It will not always come out.
'It is not as if we had lost to one of the worst sides of the world of England. I am not putting excuses, we believe we can overcome India, but we are playing them in the conditions of their home and do not lose much Crick here. '
Duckett was looking for his third hate hundred in 18 entries at the Barabati stadium, but perished on the rope trying to hit Ravindra Jadaja for six.
'I am not happy to get 65. This format really excites me. I have the opportunity to do mine, “he said.
'I have faced Laadaja in the trial cricket and it is not different, really. I could go into my shell there and go out below by not being positive.

“Maybe this is a learning curve for me, but I would be very surprised if I am hitting a left arm spinner in the next game.”
An added turn to the current tribulations of England is that they could be absorbed by a scrap to qualify for the 2027 World Cup unless things change.
Currently, they could pass even more when the annual update of classifications is carried out this spring and only the eight best nations at the end of 2026, hosts that discussed South Africa and Zimbabwe, are guaranteed by the passage of the tournament itself. The following two countries are aimed at a classification competition with a large number of associated nations.
According to the CPI points system, a recalculation occurs every May 1, applying a 100% weighting to the results of the previous 12 months, 50% for the previous two years and eliminating those of 36-48 months ago.
This is bad news for England since they have lost seven out of 10 in the current cycle while winning the five of its 50 internationals between May 1, 2021 and April 30, 2022.
Meanwhile, Afghanistan and the Western Indies, two of the teams under them in the classification, are about to throw negative sequences and have positive valued at 100 percent.
Afghanistan won two and lost four in 2021-2022, but they have defeated South Africa and Bangladesh, both 2-1, and Zimbabwe 2-0 this year.
And the Western Indies, who know very well the dangers of a shooting that qualifies after getting lost in the 2023 edition, will lose a 2-7 record and are 6-3 in the continuous period.
England today traveled to Ahmedabad with Jamie Overton (Foot) the last to inform a concern. It will be evaluated more before the final hate in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.
