Cameron Bancroft has conceded his Test career is likely over, telling ABC News Australia he no longer feels the sting of being passed over by national selectors despite amassing substantial runs in the Sheffield Shield. The 31-year-old Western Australia opener, who last played a Test in 2019, said he had reached a point of acceptance after earlier periods of frustration. “I don’t get worked up about it anymore,” Bancroft said, reflecting on his strong domestic form that has not led to a recall. Bancroft’s remarks come after another solid start to the Shield season, where he has continued to score runs at the top of the order. The right‑hander acknowledged the “dejection” he once felt but said his focus had shifted entirely to performing for his state side and enjoying the game. Selectors have opted for younger opening options in recent Test squads, leaving Bancroft on the outer despite his consistent first‑class output. He said he respected the direction the team was heading and was content contributing to Western Australia’s campaign.
