Cameron Bancroft, the young right-handed Australian batsman made his T20I debut against India when the two sides met in 2016. He had a silent debut as he walked in to bat with just 2 balls left in the Australian innings. Bancroft could not even a single ball in his first international innings.

That till now remains the only T20I that Bancroft has played for Australia. He hasn't made his ODI debut yet and received a 9-month ban from Cricket Australia when he was caught tampering the conditions of the ball in the 8th test match of his career, against the Proteas.

Bancroft was the first Australian player after Michael Slater in 1993 to make his Test debut in an Ashes test when he replaced Matt Renshaw and opened the innings for the Aussies.
