Australian batting sensation Jake Fraser-McGurk recently shared his insights on the challenges of breaking into the star-studded Australian T20 World Cup 2024 squad, which features established players like David Warner and Travis Head. 

Fraser-McGurk was left out of Australia's World Cup squad due to the presence of the established top-order players like David Warner, Travis Head, and Mitchell Marsh, who also serves as the team's captain. 

With such experienced players occupying the top spots, the Delhi Capitals (DC) star batter admitted that he couldn't envision himself batting lower down the order at positions five or six.

"It's also hard to fit in. You've got David Warner, our best opener ever in three formats. You've got Travis Head, who's lighting it up over here (in the IPL) and has lit up for the past 18 months. And then Mitch Marsh is the same and he's also the captain. I can't really see myself batting five or six because we're pretty set there with Timmy David, Cam Green, those sort of blokes," said Jake Fraser-McGurk.

Despite his disappointment at not making the final cut for the T20 World Cup, Fraser-McGurk's performance has impressed many, including the head coach of the Delhi Capitals, who was surprised by his omission.

Known for his ability to clear the boundary with ease, Fraser-McGurk has showcased his explosive batting skills throughout the IPL 2024 season. 

In just six games for the Delhi Capitals, he has amassed an impressive total of 259 runs at a remarkable strike rate of 233.3. 

His aggressive style of play, characterised by 23 maximums and numerous boundaries, has garnered attention and established him as a promising talent to watch in the cricketing world.
