Australia's Bancroft joins Somerset

LONDON - Australia's Ashes-winning opener Cameron Bancroft has signed to play for Somerset next season as the English county side target trophies following a disappointing season. The 25-year-old has played all three Tests and scored an unbeaten 82 on debut in Brisbane. Bancroft is being lined up to feature in four-day and ODIs, but not the NatWest T20 Blast. "I'm really excited to be joining a county with so much potential," he said. "There's a long history of Australians doing well at Taunton, so hopefully I can add my name to that list."
