Disgraced Australian player Cameron Bancroft Saturday said he was a vastly different person to the one caught ball-tampering and revealed he considered walking away from cricket to become a yoga teacher. He did so in the form of a long letter addressed to his former self, published in the West Australian newspaper, describing his emotional journey since. In it, Bancroft describes the major influence Australian coach Justin Langer has had on him, along with West Australian mentor Adam Voges. "Until you are able to acknowledge that you are Cameron Bancroft, the person who plays cricket as a profession, and not Cameron Bancroft the cricketer, you will not be able to move forward." "While you do not look that different, on the inside you are a vastly different man to the bloke who made that mistake in South Africa," he added in the letter."
