Australia’s young batting sensation Jake Fraser McGurk was recently omitted from Australia’s squad for the T20I World Cup to be held in West Indies and USA in June. Over the past one month, Young batter has taken the ongoing Indian Premier League by storm with his stunning form. Jake had staked claim for a place in Australia’s World Cup squad with his astonishing batting demonstration for Delhi Capitals at the IPL. Blaster Jake’s omission came as a huge surprise alongside veteran Steve Smith.

However, young batter is not bothered by the omission as he is of the view that he has not yet earned his spot in the team. Australia included Travis Head and David Warner (most likely to open the innings) at the top of the order, with Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell forming the middle-order.

"The communication was really good. There's two ways you can look at it. You can look at it through, 'this is what I've done to prove my case,' and then there's also, 'look, a month and a half ago I wasn't even in the picture,” Jake Fraser-McGurk told the Willow Talk podcast. 

"They probably had a good idea of what was a month and a half ago, trying to build that and get the connection in the team. And 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 is lighting it up over here and has lit it up over 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 Tim David, Cam Green and those sort of blokes. That's the way I think about it. That's fine. There's hopefully going to be more time for that."

"If I do somehow get a travelling reserve then great, I can get a good experience there. It didn't really bother me a hell of a lot because I wasn't in this position to sort of feel like I've earned that yet. World Cup cricket is a lot different to IPL and franchise cricket."
