After making 'a compelling case for initial selection' in Australia's group for next month's T20 World Cup, 22-year-old Jake Fraser-McGurk and BBL player of the year Matt Short will link up with the squad as injury back-up in the early stages of the tournament.
After controversially being left off Australia's initial squad for next month's Twenty20 World Cup , Jake Fraser-McGurk has been added as a reserve to travel to the West Indies and US.
"Matt and Jake made compelling cases for initial selection with their respective performances for Australia last summer and, in Jake's case, more recently in the IPL," chair of selectors George Bailey said. "Both players have exciting talents that can add to the squad if needed. If not, the experience will still be valuable in their respective development journeys at international level."
