<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">Banned Australian player Cameron Bancroft on Wednesday confirmed David Warner asked him to alter the ball during the tampering scandal in South Africa and said he went along with it &quot;to fit in&quot;.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">Bancroft was seen using sandpaper to try to rough up the ball in the Cape Town Test in March, receiving a nine-month ban from international and domestic cricket for his part in an incident that rocked the sport.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">Warner and then captain Steve Smith were exiled for a year after all three were found to be involved.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">A Cricket Australia investigation pointed to Warner as the mastermind and Bancroft revealed more details in an interview with former Australia wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist on Fox Sports.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">&quot;Dave suggested to me to carry the action out on the ball given the situation we were in the game and I didn&#39;t know any better,&quot; said Bancroft, whose ban runs out this weekend. &quot;I didn&#39;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 in ... you hope that fitting in earns you respect and with that, I guess, there came a pretty big cost for the mistake.&quot;</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">At the time, Bancroft had been forging a new Australian Test opening partnership with the more experienced Warner. But he made clear he did not consider himself a victim.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">&quot;I had a choice and I made a massive mistake and that is what is in my control,&quot; said Bancroft, who admitted he often pondered what would have happened if he had said no, and concluded it was a no-win situation. &quot;I would have gone to bed and I would have felt like I had let everybody down. I would have felt like I had let the team down. I would have left like I had hurt our chances to win the game of cricket.&quot;</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">Last week Smith also opened up as he begins to re-emerge into public life, distancing himself from the plot while admitting he failed as a captain by turning a blind eye.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">Asked what happened in the changing rooms at Cape Town before Bancroft attempted to cheat, he said: &quot;For me in the room, I walked past something and had the opportunity to stop it and I didn&#39;t do it and that was my leadership failure. It was the potential for something to happen and it went on and happened out in the field.&quot;</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">He added: &quot;I had the opportunity to stop it at that point rather than say, &#39;I don&#39;t want to know anything about it&#39;.&quot;</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">A scathing independent review into the incident blamed Cricket Australia&#39;s &quot;arrogant and controlling&quot; culture as partly contributing to players bending the rules.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">In an interview with Gilchrist on Wednesday, Smith pinpointed a downward slide in the team&#39;s culture to a defeat against South Africa in Hobart in 2016 &mdash; their fifth loss in a row.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">&quot;I remember James Sutherland and Pat Howard coming into the (changing) rooms there and saying &#39;we don&#39;t pay you to play, we pay you to win&#39;,&quot; he said, referring to the former CA chief executive and high performance manager. &quot;For me that was a little bit disappointing, we don&#39;t go out there to try lose games of cricket, we go out there to try and win and play the best way we can.&quot;</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">Current CA chief Kevin Roberts said Wednesday it was time to move on.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">&quot;The events of Cape Town were investigated and dealt with some nine months ago now so there&#39;s no new news there,&quot; he told reporters ahead of the third Test against India in Melbourne.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Merriweather">Bancroft is expected to make his return for the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League on Sunday, with Smith and Warner available from late March.</span></span></p>
