In March Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, called for genetic tests for common cancers and heart disease to be rolled out.


However, the tests have been criticised for causing stress, confusion and even fostering a kind of fatalism that would make people stop taking care of themselves.

READ MORE © Getty Images Spanish lessons, yoga and a host of community work have all been part of the path taken by Cameron Bancroft since the Newlands ball-tampering scandal. The Australia batsman has been looking to seek the sort of perspective and self-knowledge that will prevent him from following the kind of instructions issued to him by David Warner in the Cape Town dressing room. Bancroft spoke in Perth on Saturday ahead of his return to cricket via Twenty20 and 50-over appearances in the Northern Territory, where he will also endeavour to work closely in developing local talent.
