Big-hitter Jake Fraser-McGurk will go to the Twenty20 World Cup as a reserve batsman for the Australia squad. Fraser-McGurk’s eye-catching IPL scoring has been recognised with a reserve slot while versatile Matt Short will be Australia’s other travelling emergency. Chair of selectors George Bailey says the duo will travel with the previously announced 15-man squad for the tournament in the West Indies and United States starting next month.
” Fraser-McGurk made 330 runs including four half-centuries at a stunning strike-rate of 234 for the Delhi Capitals in the just-completed IPL. Fans were left fuming after the original decision to leave him out of the squad and back in veteran David Warner. Warner, 37, is currently recovering from a hand injury, while captain Mitch Marsh is battling a hamstring complaint.
