Bancroft arrived in Perth shortly before 6pm on Thursday and was whisked away via an airport backdoor, where Western Australia cricket coach Justin Langer was there to greet him.

Steve Smith was expected to land in Sydney shortly after, while David Warner is also still en route. 

The trio were sent home from Johannesburg on Wednesday after they conspired to cheat in the third Test against South Africa. 

Bancroft – who was suspended for nine months for using sandpaper to ball tamper – is set to face the media at a press conference at the WACA on Thursday night.
