Bancroft has been the leading run-scorer in the Sheffield Shield for the past two seasons while guiding Western Australia to back-to-back triumphs. But he was overlooked by selectors, who announced that Steve Smith will be the new opener for the Test team post David Warner’s retirement from the format. 

Langer had coached Bancroft in Western Australia team and even in the national side during 2019 Ashes. “The non-selection of Bancroft for this next test match against the West Indies is disappointing. He will be gutted. His numbers are outstanding,” wrote Langer in his column for The West Australian.
