Former Australia batsman Cameron Bancroft has played down any talk of a rift with David Warner after being accused of throwing his fellow opener "under a bus" in a controversial interview about the Cape Town ball-tampering scandal. Two months on from the interview, Bancroft said he had been in touch with Warner, and that all three banned players had supported each other through their "journey". "I think all of us, including Dave, have been really challenged through this period of time," Bancroft told state radio station ABC. "You can't understand the trauma I felt, it was probably very different trauma to how he (Warner) felt, and I can't possibly understand that. Bancroft had no regrets about his interview with former Australia wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist, saying he felt he had "important learnings to share".
