Australia captain explains reasons why IPL star missed T20 World Cup selection

Fraser-McGurk has been in scintillating form for the Delhi Capitals in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) and many believed the right-hander had shown enough to make the trip to West Indies and USA next month for the ninth edition of the T20 World Cup.

And while Marsh has been impressed with what he has seen from Fraser-McGurk at international level and at Delhi, the Australia skipper suggested incumbent openers Travis Head and David Warner have the runs on the board and have earnt the right to continue their relationship at the top of the batting order.

“Jakey is an outstanding talent,” Marsh said on Australian radio station SEN.

“I think you know the way he’s taking on the IPL, he’s taken it by storm, they’re all loving him, and certainly, the Delhi crew are enjoying his company and enjoying what he brings to the team and there’s no doubt that he’s going to have a huge future, wherever he plays.

“But we feel like we’ve got all bases covered within our team. Heady and David Warner have been fantastic for us, not only for a long period of time but over the last 18 months building towards this (T20) World Cup.

“We’re really comfortable that we’ve got the right 15, to hopefully take us deep into the (T20) World Cup.”
