The 22-year-old’s blistering IPL form should have forced a recalculation for the otherwise conventional T20 World Cup squad
Australia will stick with convention instead of calling up young batter Jake Fraser-McGurk who has been hitting big for the Delhi Capitals in the IPL.Australia will stick with convention instead of calling up young batter Jake Fraser-McGurk who has been hitting big for the Delhi Capitals in the IPL.et’s be honest, we wanted it. You all did.
The choice to pass him up is very coach Andrew McDonald: stay calm, back current players, stick the course. Similar work through a difficult 50-over World Cup was ultimately vindicated, bringing home a trophy that few expected. Also, McDonald, with selectors George Bailey and Tony Dodemaide, did make the call to leave out Steve Smith from this next assignment, not unexpectedly given the format, but one where other selectors would have been cowed by reputation.
The batting carnage this year is unlikely in a World Cup, where scoring can drop back. There will be no substitutes to bolster batting. Surfaces are an unknown, with drop-in wickets across the US plus the tendency of some Caribbean grounds to play slow. On mindset and conditions, you would expect quality bowlers like Anrich Nortje or Mitchell Starc, going at horrible IPL economy rates, to come back strongly.
