'You Can't Squeeze Everybody In', Hazlewood Opens Up On Fraser-McGurk, Smith's T20 WC Snub
Smith T20 WC: Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood gave his take on teammates Steve Smith and Jake Fraser-McGurk's snub from the T20 World Cup squad and said it's tough to "squeeze everybody in". He added that young opener Fraser-McGurk will find his place in the team "sooner rather than later".
The 2021 T20 World Cup champions unveiled their squad for the 20-over showcase on Wednesday, and the absence of Fraser-McGurk and former skipper Steve Smith from the 15-player group was among the biggest surprises.
Smith went unsold during the 2024 IPL auction and was in India but in a new role as a commentator during the course of the tournament. His time with the Sidney Sixers in the Big Bash League has seen him score 1026 runs at a strike rate of 142.5. He has scored two centuries and seven fifties in 31 innings.
