He has admitted that he is yet to give off his best in the shirt of the Black Stars, but indicated that his poor display should be attributed to the change of his role when he moves to the Black Stars.
"It’s something people have noticed from a distance," Duncan told Citi TV.

"When you watch me in my club and see the kind of contribution I make, you’d notice there’s a difference.
"I’ve been made to understand that I must be able to adapt to any role required in order to help the team.
“But sometimes it’s very frustrating when you’re asked to play a role you’re not used to. You don’t get to enjoy the game in the way you want.
"I’m a player who loves to get a lot of touches on the ball, so it becomes problematic when I’m deployed in a role that doesn’t allow me to do that."
After the underwhelming performance against South Africa, Duncan was left on the bench as the Black Stars faced Sao Tome and Principe four days later.
