As criticism mounts over the ball-tampering saga engulfing Australian cricket, footage has emerged from a recent Sydney Test match allegedly showing Cameron Bancroft spooning sugar into his pocket.

The footage, which circulated on social media over the weekend, showed Bancroft in the tea room spooning sugar into his hand before appearing to place it in his pocket during the fifth Ashes Test in Sydney.

It is unclear what the sugar was used for, but social media users allege it's a measure used to tamper with the ball.
