England opener Ben Duckett has been slapped with £700 fine after being caught speeding at 93mph in a 70mph zone, Sky Sports reported.

The southpaw, who pleaded guilty on Friday (March 27), was caught by police just hours before playing for Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred last year.

The case was handled by Cannock Magistrates' Court under the Single Justice Procedure after a criminal prosecution was initiated.

After admitting the offence, Duckett was fined £700, had four penalty points put on his licence, and ordered to pay £120 in costs and a £280 victim surcharge.

The left-hander committed a high-speed driving offence in Staffordshire on August 24, 2025, which was admitted in September after police contact. Due to the high speed, he faced criminal prosecution via the Single Justice Procedure rather than a fixed penalty, resulting in a guilty plea for the offence.

The speeding incident occurred just after 1.30pm on August 24, 2025. Duckett admitted the speeding offence in September after being written to by Staffordshire Police. He then pleaded guilty through the Single Justice Procedure when the force decided to bring a criminal prosecution rather than impose an out-of-court fine, due to the high speed he had been driving.

The case was handled behind closed doors without a formal court hearing. Duckett entered his guilty plea online and will now be written to with instructions for settling the £1,100 court bill, the report stated.

This comes days after Ben Duckett pulled out his of his IPL 2026 contract with Delhi Capitals, opting to prioritise his preparations for the upcoming international summer.

As per IPL rules, Duckett now faces a potential two-year ban from the league and future auctions. His case follows that of Harry Brook, who had earlier withdrawn after being bought for Rs 6.25 crore and is currently serving a similar ban.
