Bancroft, who played ten Tests so far, has been the leading run-getter in last two seasons of the Sheffield Shield and has been seen as the leading candidate to open the batting alongside Usman Khawaja in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, starting on November 22 in Perth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But Bancroft, 31, hasn\u2019t set the scoreboard alight by registering scores of 0, 0, 8, 2, 0 and 16 in the ongoing Sheffield Shield and Australia A series against India A. \"There\u2019s no air speed at the moment in Shield cricket, and you\u2019re playing at venues that don\u2019t bounce. With Cameron Bancroft, his foot\u2019s still out to point. If someone was bowling 145km\/h, he\u2019s still going to make the same mistake.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"In my eyes, it\u2019s about his front foot being pointed out to point. When there\u2019s faster air speed, when the bowlers are bowling faster, he\u2019s going to get rolled through, LBW or he\u2019ll get caught in the slips cordon. He had that trouble when he was playing for Australia,\" said Warner on Fox Sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Asked on who should open the batting alongside Khawaja, Warner named South Australian captain Nathan McSweeney, who made scores of 39 and 88 not out in the seven-wicket win over India A in the first four-day game at Mackay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He will be in action when Australia A face India A for the second red-ball game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground from Thursday. \"McSweeney\u2019s a talent. They can run the gauntlet with him opening the batting. I know he bats No. 3 for South Australia, but I think there\u2019s leadership qualities there as well,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
