Sheffield Shield: Adam Voges, the head coach of Western Australia (WA), believes that the flashy batter Cameron Bancroft should be selected for the upcoming Ashes series. The announcement follows Bancroft’s fantastic tenure with the team, during which he finished the title-winning campaign as the highest run-getter with 945 runs in 11 appearances.
Notably, WA just achieved an unprecedented trifecta by winning all three domestic men’s competitions after defeating Victoria in the Sheffield Shield’s championship match. In addition, it was Bancroft and Teague Wyllie’s respective unbroken scores of 39 and 43 runs in the second innings of the championship game versus Victoria that propelled the team to victory.
The 30-year-old keeper-batter impressively recorded four centuries and one fifty throughout his stellar season. As a result, the opener can be one of the candidates waiting to be chosen for Australia’s forthcoming Ashes tour to England. The hitter has been working on his game, according to WA coach Voges, and deserves a spot to lead Australia in the Ashes.
“I believe Cameron Bancroft deserves to travel to England in the winter on an aircraft. I believe you are always better prepared the second time. He will gain knowledge from the events, and he will undoubtedly be considerably improved. For a while now, Cameron has been preparing for a season like this. Technically, I believe he is in a much better position than he has been in the past,” according to Voges, who was quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
Technically, he’s in a superior position: Voges
Bancroft was dismissed from the Western Australia Shield squad and the national team as a result of the infamous ball-tampering affair in 2018. The hitter has since concentrated on raising his level of play and rejoining the team. Voges also remarked that the batter has been better in his performances and is in a “better spot” technically, establishing his dominance for the 2022–2023 season.
Voges continued, “I think that just allows him to be able to rely on that strength. He’s always had those really incredible powers of focus and ability to bat for lengthy periods of time.”
