Cricket News: Cameron Bancroft makes a comeback after ban, to play BBL

Banned for nine months for his involvement in the infamous sandpaper gate incident in South Africa, Australia opener Cameron Bancroft will finally return to action after being named in the Perth Scorchers squad for their Big Bash League clash with Hobart Hurricanes in Launceston on Sunday. Bancroft, who was banned in March for his role in the ball-tampering incident along with former skipper Steve Smith and fellow opener David Warner, officially completes his ban on Saturday. The other two were handed a one-year ban each. Following the expiry of his ban, the 26-year-old Bancroft was immediately included in the 13-man squad for the match with undefeated Hobart.
