Warner and Bancroft to return to cricket in July


David Warner and Cameron Bancroft are set to return to the cricket in July for the first time since facing suspension for their involvement in the ball-tampering fiasco. While Warner was inflicted with a yearlong ban, Bancroft faced similar predicament but for only 9 months.
They are, however, cleared to play in domestic competitions across the world – except for the Australian Sheffield Shield – and, as a result, will be taking part in Darwin Strike League in July.
Cameron Bancroft has made himself available for the whole tournament while David Warner will be available for two 50-over games. The competition takes place in both 50-over and T20 format and is designed to bring talented young players to focus.

Meanwhile, Warner stated his happiness at being able to play in the Strike League and said that he is keen to take part in it.
"I'm really looking forward to playing in the Strike League in July. I heard so much about the competition while I was in Darwin earlier this month that I'm keen to be part of it," Warner said in a statement.
The former Australia vice-captain is also going to play in at least three Randwick Petersham’s four opening games in Sydney grade cricket next summer and is reportedly pondering in taking part in Canada’s inaugural T20 league, Global T20 Canada, where Steve Smith is set to return to cricket.
