Cricket Australia has asked Cameron Bancroft to come up with any new information regarding the ball-tampering scandal after his fresh revelations on the same. He said that the bowlers were aware of the scandal as the various sources across Australian media quoted him saying so. Bancroft’s new revelations has put the Australian cricket fraternity in shock as to what new findings can be done in this case.
Cameron Bancroft was among three players (along with Steven Smith, the then Australia captain and David Warner, the then vice-captain), to receive lengthy sanctions for their role in the ball-tampering saga.
The 28-year-old, who is currently in England playing for Durham in the County Championship, spoke to The Guardian on Saturday (May 15th) saying, “Yeah, look, all I wanted to do was to be responsible and accountable for my own actions and part. Yeah, obviously what I did benefits bowlers and the awareness around that, probably, is self-explanatory.”
