BBL 2018/19: Perth Scorchers Likely to Welcome Cameron Bancroft

Perhaps, there would be no horrible start to a cricketer’s career than the one that Cameron Bancroft has had. Just when he was making the baby steps in the international cricket, he got involved in an unfortunate ball-tampering incident thus receiving the nine-month ban from CA. However, his BBL franchise, Perth Scorchers wants to get his services back for them for the upcoming season.

Meanwhile, Cameron Bancroft showed a great character at the top of the batting lineup. He scored the much-needed runs for the team and himself to stay in the team for quite a while. However, all got vanished when an unfortunate thing struck them.

I know Cameron Bancroft will be prepared – Perth Scorchers coach Adam Voges

The former Australian cricketer and also the coach of Perth Scorchers, Adam Voges quoted Cameron has done well for Perth Scorchers in the previous edition. He feels the batsman will be in the scheme of things.

Further, he went on say the youngster will be prepared to play the highest-level cricket by the end of his ban period. Adam Voges is also hopeful Cameron will deliver the goods on his return back to international cricket.

“I see a real possibility that he’ll come straight back in for that game. A lot will just depend on how we’re going at the time. There’ll be some opportunity for a number of our other batsmen in those first three games and much will be dependent probably on how they go.But I thought Cam when he played for the Scorchers last year, he did a really good job, batted at three and played some really good innings for us,” he said.

”He’s an important part of our squads in all forms of the game, so I see him certainly putting his hand up to come straight back in. One thing I do know about Cam is he’ll be prepared. I know he won’t have played any high-level competitive cricket for a period, but it certainly hasn’t stopped him from trying to improve. He’ll be ready to go,” Voges said on the latest episode of The Unplayable Podcast.

Well, it would be interesting to see whether Cameron Bancroft will make his entry directly into his BBL side. Meanwhile, there is a buzz going on that the respective board is in thoughts to revoke the ban on the discarded trio.
