Australia’s new sensation Jake Fraser-McGurk is quickly rising up the ranks as he is getting legends and viewers excited due to his swashbuckling batting style.
The Australian youngster couldn’t score big in his debut against West Indies but he managed to leave the doubters behind with a smashing 18-ball 41 in the last AUS vs WI ODI in Canberra which included five fours and three sixes. Now one of his fans is former Australia captain Ricky Ponting, who is vouching for him to be fast-tracked into international cricket to further his development.
‘He looks like a young David Warner’
Ponting even compared the 21-year-old Fraser-McGurk to a young David Warner, who recently retired from Test cricket while also being at the fag end of his international career. Fraser-McGurk’s trajectory might also be similar to Warner, who was also fast-tracked into international cricket.
Warner made his Test debut for Australia without playing a first-class match. Ponting, however, wanted Australia not to destabilise the current setup as the present team is steady.
