Fraser-McGurk To Open, Owen Hands Debut As Aus Name Squad For First T20I Vs WI
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Jake Fraser-McGurk will open the batting in the first T20I against the West Indies after Matt Short was ruled out of Australia's T20 tour of the Caribbean, as Australia have confirmed their starting eleven for the first T20I of the five-match series, slated to take place at Sabina Park on Monday (IST).
Fraser-McGurk, who was a late call-up to the Caribbean tour having initially been left out of the 16-player squad, was recalled to the side as a replacement for Spencer Johnson, who was ruled out with back soreness first detected at this year's IPL.
Meanwhile, Mitchell Owen, the hero of Hobart's maiden Big Bash title last summer, has been confirmed for his debut and will line up in the middle order.
