Updated Club Statement - Cameron Bancroft

Somerset County Cricket Club’s Director of Cricket Andy Hurry has released the following updated statement:

“The Chief Executive, Captain, Head Coach and myself met this morning to ensure that we are all updated on the events from the weekend. There is more information being made available on a daily basis and we are aware that Cricket Australia are following their internal processes of which again more information will be available.

I will be talking to Cricket Australia and Cameron in due course as it is important for us to collate all the relevant information before considering our next steps.

We appreciate there is a lot of emotion, disappointment and media surrounding the on field incidents during last Saturday’s Third Test Match in Cape Town and it is imperative we follow our appropriate processes that will enable us to make the right decision for us as a Club in due course.

Therefore we will be awaiting the outcome of the Cricket Australia internal investigation before making any further comment”.
