Mitch Marsh has returned home from the IPL with a hamstring tear ahead of the Twenty20World Cup in June, but the silver lining is that it has provided an opportunity for Jake Fraser-McGurk to continue his rapid rise up the ranks of the world’s most watchable young white-ball hitters.
Mitch Marsh has returned home from the IPL with a hamstring tear ahead of the Twenty20World Cup in June, though the injury is not expected to affect his chances of leading Australia at the tournament.
“I think all roads will lead to Mitch, so just got to get that ticked off in certain areas,” McDonald said in New Zealand last month. Cummins was also appointed as captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL, a choice partly inspired by his brilliant leadership of the Australian World Cup victory in India last year.
IPL success is widely seen as the blue riband for T20 players, ensuring not only a rich bounty in India but also allowing high-performing players to more or less take their pick in overseas leagues.Nevertheless, Fraser-McGurk is still only an outside chance of squeezing into the Australian World Cup squad that will be named next month, given a logjam for top order spots that also includes Marsh, David Warner, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Matt Short and Steve Smith.
