Banned Warner, Bancroft may return to cricket as early as July

Wednesday, 9 May 2018


Australia's banned Test opening pair of former vice-captain David Warner and the young Cameron Bancroft could make a comeback to competitive cricket as early as July, reports Hindustan Times.
The ball-tampering scandal during Australia's tour of South Africa earlier this year saw Warner and Bancroft being banned from top-flight cricket for 12 and nine months respectively, with the former being dropped from consideration of leadership position forever.
Alongside these two, Australia's captain Steve Smith was handed a one-year ban, as well as suspension from leadership position for two years.
Smith had announced his arrival back in Australia and the beginning of his efforts to win back the trust and support of his fans last week. But it is the pair of Warner and Bancroft, who, separately, are considering playing in the Top End's Strike League in Australia's Northern Territory.
