LONDON, Dec 20 (AFP): Batsman Ben Duckett has been left out of the England Lions squad to tour the West Indies after pouring a drink over James Anderson in a Perth bar.

Batsman Duckett, 23, had already been fined and suspended from Lions' matches on the Australia tour after the late-night incident ahead of the third Test which infuriated the team's management.

"Ben Duckett has not been selected as a result of the off-field incident which led to his suspension and fine in Australia," said an England and Wales Cricket Board spokesman.

The Northamptonshire batsman, who has played four Test and three one-day internationals for England, has already received a reported £1,500 ($2,000) fine and final written warning over his conduct.
