"Dave (David Warner) suggested to me to carry the action out on the ball given the situation we were in the game and I didn't know any better," he told Fox Sports.
Bancroft, who is currently nearing the end of his nine-month suspension, revealed that he went ahead with tampering the ball in order to fit in and feel valued.
"I didn't know any better because I just wanted to fit in and feel valued really. As simple as that. The decision was based around my values, what I valued at the time and I valued fitting, you hope that fitting in earns you respect and with that, I guess, there came a pretty big cost for the mistake," he continued.
