New Delhi: Jake Fraser-McGurk will travel with Australia for the 2024 T20 World Cup in the United States and the West Indies from June 1.
Fraser-McGurk, 22, has been on fire in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, with the right-handed batsman representing Delhi Capitals with 330 runs in nine innings at 234.04, the fourth highest. race He also hit 28 sixes in the tournament.
Australian selectors are targeting two reserves for the World Cup and Fraser-McGurk will be one of them thanks to his performance in India. Another tour reserve will be given to young wrist spinner Tanwer Sangha as cover for Adam Zampa.
With Davies Warner suffering from a broken bone in his hand, while opener Mitchell Marsh is still recovering from injury, Fraser-McGurk’s inclusion as a touring back-up is crucial.
Remember, Delhi Capitals head coach and former Australian captain Ricky Ponting said he was surprised the 22-year-old was left out of the Aussies’ World Cup squad.
