Observing the young Indian batter deal in boundaries during the Rajkot Test, Duckett suggested that the England team\u2019s \u2018Bazball\u2019 style of play should be credited for encouraging Jaiswal to play the way he has in the series so far.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, former England captain Nasser Hussain had criticized the player for his remarks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not learned from you.
