MELBOURNE, May 07 (Reuters): Batting sensation Jake Fraser-McGurk has shrugged off his omission from Australia's T20 World Cup squad, saying he felt he had not earned a place yet despite his sparkling form in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Fraser-McGurk has blasted 259 runs in six matches for the Delhi Capitals at a strike-rate of 233.33, prompting pundits and former players to call for his selection, but he will miss out on next month's tournament in the US and Caribbean.
"There's two ways you can look at it," the 22-year-old Victorian told "The Willow Talk" podcast.
"You can look at it through, 'This is what I've done to prove my case,' and then there's also, 'Look, a month-and-a-half ago I wasn't even in the picture,'" said Fraser-McGurk, who is uncapped in T20 internationals.
"It didn't really bother me a hell of a lot because I wasn't in this position to sort of .... feel like I've earned that yet.
"World Cup cricket is a lot different to IPL and franchise cricket."
