Bancroft hits 151 on Durham one-day debut

London: Cameron Bancroft hit an unbeaten 151 on his one-day debut for Durham as the disgraced Australia batsman started to repay the English county’s faith in him.
Bancroft was banned for nine months after being caught in the Australia ball-tampering scandal during their tour to South Africa last year The ‘sandpaper-gate’ incident during the Newlands Test against South Africa also led to Bancroft’s Australia team-mates Steve Smith and David Warner receiving year-long suspensions.
After returning in Australia’s Big Bash League in December, Bancroft has joined up with Durham with a view to making Australia’s Ashes squad. (PTI)
