Cameron Bancroft, who was one of the three cricketers banned in the Sandpaper Gate incident, has been named in the Perth Scorchers' squad for the rest of the Big Bash League as his nine-month suspension has come to an end.

Scorchers captain Adam Voges was happy to welcome Bancroft back into the squad.

"It's great to have Cam back in the squad again. It's been a long year for him and now he can move forward and get back to playing cricket at a high level," he said.

Bancroft also opened up about his return with a lengthy Instagram post.
