LONDON – Durham insisted shamed Australia batsman Cameron Bancroft is “the best available option” to captain the northeast English county.
The 26-year-old, acting under what he later said was pressure from Warner, applied sandpaper to the ball and then hid the sandpaper down his trousers. “We certainly considered two of our existing Durham players for the role but they didn’t want to do it, they wanted to focus on their own performance, we looked at Alex Lees and Ben Raine.”
