The former Australian opener has alleged that his team were trying to keep up with the hosts and has promised to reveal more details about their methods in his autobiography, SabR.
Captain Steve Smith later admitted that the team's leadership group had discussed a plan to change the ball's condition. Cricket Australia's investigation found that David Warner had developed the plan, Bancroft had carried it out, and Smith knew about it but failed to prevent it.

The former opener also claimed that he had heard details from a South African player about the methods used by the hosts. He said his autobiography would discuss some of that information, although he did not disclose the full details in his interview with Nine.
His comments also bring attention to former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis' previous disciplinary cases. The South African batter was fined half his match fee in 2013 after rubbing the ball against the zip of his trousers during a Test against Pakistan. In 2016, he was again found guilty of ball tampering after using saliva while sucking on a mint during the Hobart Test against Australia. He was fined his full match fee on that occasion.
