'We've Got All Bases Covered': Marsh Clarifies Why Fraser-McGurk Missed Out On T20 WC Squad
T20 World Cup: The newly-appointed T20I captain, Mitchell Marsh has clarified the reason behind leaving Jake Fraser-McGurk out of the 15-man T20 World Cup squad. He stated that Australia's squad has "all bases covered", and that the current openers; Travis Head and David Warner, have performed exceptionally well over the last 18 months, making them the preferred choice for the mega event.
The 2021 T20 World Cup champions unveiled their squad for the 20-over showcase on Wednesday, and the absence of Fraser-McGurk and former skipper Steve Smith from the 15-player group was among the biggest surprises.
Fraser-McGurk has been in excellent form for the Delhi Capitals in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), scoring three half-centuries so far. Many believe that the right-hander has demonstrated his abilities enough to be selected for the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and USA, starting on June 1.
