(UTV|COLOMBO) – Fast bowler James Pattinson and opener Marcus Harris were among Cricket Australia’s nationally contracted players announced on Monday, but there was no room for Cameron Bancroft, Peter Siddle, or Marnus Labuschagne.
The list of 20 men’s players offered deals for the 2019-2020 season on the basis of their performances over the past 12 months also included, as expected, Steve Smith and David Warner despite neither padding up during the period.
They were omitted last year after being banned over the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa. Bancroft, who was suspended for nine months over the same incident, missed out.
