Bancroft has played for the Australia A side

A solid batsman, with a sound technique, Bancroft has earned a good reputation in the domestic circuit for his temperament. A breakthrough 2014-15 Sheffield Season saw him pile up 896 runs at an average of 47.15.

Bancroft was picked in Australia's squad for the abandoned Test tour of Bangladesh in 2015. The youngster produced a productive Shield season with 732 runs at 45.75. Former Australian opener, Justin Langer regards Bancroft as one of the best openers in the country, yet he has never earned a chance to play a Test.

Given Joe Burns’ twin failures at Hobart and several vacancies in the middle order, Bancroft could be a good pick for Australia. He can also keep which is an added advantage given Nevill's form. In 44 first class games, Bancroft has 2782 runs at an average of 37.22 with 7 hundreds. A chance is all he requires to make a name for himself and it may arrive sooner than expected.
