Jake Fraser-McGurk: Career stats, Test, ODI, T20I appearances, Ashes record

Big-hitting right-hander Jake Fraser-McGurk is seen as the biggest batting talent on the Australian scene and he is expected to go on and forge a lengthy international career, especially in the white-ball game.

The 22-year-old has played in just a handful of internationals to date, but is one of a number of players hoping to become the successor to David Warner at the top of the order in both 50 and 20-over cricket.

Fraser-McGurk faces tough competition from the likes of Josh Inglis and Matt Short, amongst others, but he undoubtedly has the talent to become a Baggy Greens regular.

World record brings Fraser-McGurk to the fore

Fraser-McGurk rose to prominence in October 2023, when, having moved to South Australia, he smashed the fastest-ever List A century, reaching three figures from a mere 29 balls faced against Tasmania in a Marsh Cup clash.

From there he would impress in the Big Bash League and the Indian Premier League and that form propelled him into the national team set-up, initially in the 50-over format.

His international bow came against West Indies at the SCG in February 2024 and he hit a four and a six before being dismissed for 10 from the fifth ball faced.

His second knock and his most recent ODI innings to date came two days later against the same opposition, this time Fraser-McGurk struck 41 from 21 deliveries, clearing the ropes three times as Australia romped to an eight-wicket victory in Canberra.

He was included in the ODI squad for the recent five-match series in England, but he somewhat surprisingly did not feature as the Aussies registered a 3-2 series triumph.

T20 the natural habitat for six-hitter

Despite making his Australia debut in 50-over cricket, it is the 20-over format where Fraser-McGurk has shone the brightest to date.

Having become the record holder for the fastest 50-over century, he used his new-found confidence to clatter 18 sixes from nine innings for Melbourne Renegades in the BBL.

He upped his game further by blasting 28 maximums in nine innings for Delhi Capitals in his debut IPL campaign, but was still omitted from the Australia squad for the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the United States.

With a slight rebuild going on after that tournament he was included in the squads for T20Is against Scotland and England in September and would go on to register a first half-century in international cricket.

His three knocks against Scotland saw him make 0, 16 and 0 again, but he was back on song in his one outing against England, in Cardiff.

There he batted at three rather than opening and seemed a little more settled as he made an even 50 from 31 deliveries, striking four fours and two sixes.

That effort leaves Fraser-McGurk with just the six matches played for Australia to date, but he surely has the talent and ability to go on and become a regular in the white-ball arenas and maybe even push for a Test place in the future.
