Bancroft pay row

AUSTRALIA faces a PR disaster if it proceeds with a plan to give confessed cheat Cameron Bancroft a six figure pay rise.

Bancroft was set to be included in Cricket Australia’s national contract list for the first time after his debut against England at the Gabba.

While the final list is not set to be finalised until next week Bancroft was expected to earn a low level ranking and a national contract of $600,000.
