Matt Short, Fraser McGurk In Contention For Australia's T20 WC Travelling Reserves: Report

T20 World Cup: Australia is likely to name Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short as travelling reserves for the T20 World Cup 2024, scheduled to kick off on June 1 in the West Indies and USA, said a report.

If it happens, the decision will mark a shift from initial plans, as Chair of Selectors George Bailey had previously suggested only one reserve would be taken. The inclusion of Fraser-McGurk and Short aims to bolster the squad's depth and versatility in the event of any tournament-ending injuries among the primary 15 players.

According to ESPNcricinfo report, Australian Cricket has decided not to add a third frontline spinner as a travelling reserve as Ashton Agar and Adam Zampa are already part of the squad.
