Australian batsman Cameron Bancroft has just returned to action after serving his nine-month ban for his involvement in the 2018 Cape Town Test ball-tampering scandal. But, he is taking some time to get back to his best and this has earned him some friendly sledge from his fellow Aussie international

As Bancroft took ten balls to get off the mark for the Perth Scorchers against Brisbane Heat, he was sledged by the out-of-favour fast bowler James Pattinson and this incident was revealed by Chris Lynn.

"(Bancroft) played a couple of balls and Jimmy was into him: 'Mate you had nine months to get that front pad out of the way' and stuff like that. It was good banter. 'Bangers' is a good kid, one of the hardest trainers I've ever seen so he's going to come back really strong, but I still think there's going to be a couple of guys ahead of him (for a national call-up)," Brisbane Heat captain Chris Lynn revealed on Macquarie Radio.
