Fraser-McGurk Credits Move To South Australia For Rapid Rise, Eyes Opener Role In White-ball Cricket

By IANS News November 07, 2024 • 11:34 AM View: 576

With David Warner: Australia batting sensation Jake Fraser-McGurk credits his move from Victoria to South Australia in 2023, for his success in cricket and is now eyeing a top-order spot in the white-ball lineup for the team.

With the second ODI against Pakistan on Friday, Fraser-McGurk is eager to capitalise on the momentum he's built over the past year and prove his readiness for a permanent role in the squad.

The 22-year-old first broke into Australia’s domestic circuit at 17 with Victoria but felt his future was uncertain until former South Australia coach Jason Gillespie, now Pakistan’s head coach, offered him a lifeline.
