Australia batter Cameron Bancroft has signed a deal to represent Gloucestershire in the 2024 season, marking his return to the club after previously playing for them in 2016 and 2017. Despite being overlooked by Australia’s selectors for the Test opening spot, Bancroft has been in impressive form for Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield. Named men’s domestic player of the year at the Australian Cricket Awards, Bancroft expressed his excitement about returning to Gloucestershire and playing all formats with the club. Gloucestershire, who recently unveiled Mark Alleyne as their new coach, are looking to build on their squad’s depth by adding a player of Bancroft’s international caliber.
