Cameron Bancroft
Cameron Timothy Bancroft (born 19 November 1992) is an Australian cricketer contracted to Western Australia in Australian first class cricket, Gloucestershire in English first class cricket, and the Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League. He made his Test debut for the Australian national team in November 2017.
As a result of a Cricket Australia investigation into a ball tampering incident during the 3rd Test against South Africa in March 2018, Bancroft and two others, captain Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner, were charged by Cricket Australia on 27 March 2018 with bringing the game into disrepute, suspended, and sent home from the tour. The next day, as a result of his involvement in the ball tampering incident, Cricket Australia banned Bancroft from all international and domestic cricket for nine months and from any leadership role in Australian cricket for an additional year. Bancroft made his return to cricket on 30 December 2018, playing for the Perth Scorchers in the 2018–19 Big Bash League season. Bancroft scored 138 not out on his Sheffield Shield return as well.
After playing under-17, under-19 and under-23 cricket for Western Australia, Bancroft played several under-19 Tests and One Day Internationals for the Australia Under-19 cricket team, impressing by scoring three centuries at an average of 50.90. In August 2012, Bancroft played in the 2012 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, where he scored the second highest number of runs.
He made his List A debut for Western Australia against Tasmania on 16 October 2011 and his first-class debut one week later.
In January 2025, Bancroft collided with Daniel Sams going for a catch in the outfield whilst playing in a BBL match for the Sydney Thunder against the Perth Scorchers. Their heads collided, and both were treated for concussion. Bancroft was left with a broken shoulder and nose, however was able to walk off the field. Sams, however, was knocked unconscious, exhibiting the fencing response, and was stretchered off the ground. Both were taken to hospital, diagnosed with concussion, and discharged the following afternoon. Sams was cleared of any fractures, however he was ruled out for at least the next 12 days under the Cricket Australia concussion protocol. Bancroft was sidelined for "an extended period" due to his fractures.
In February 2025, Bancroft was named Gloucestershire red-ball captain for the 2025 County Championship season.
Bancroft was selected in the Australian Test squad to tour Bangladesh; however, that tour was cancelled for security reasons. Bancroft and the rest of the team members returned to their respective states.
He made his Twenty20 International debut for Australia against India on 31 January 2016, but did not face a ball in Australia’s innings. It remains his only T20I appearance.
