Fraser-McGurk, Short added as reserves to Aussies’ T20 WC squad

SYDNEY, May 21 (AFP): Rising talent Jake Fraser-McGurk and fellow batsman Matt Short were added to Australia's Twenty20 World Cup squad as travelling reserves Tuesday.

Fraser-McGurk has been in rampant form for Delhi Capitals in the IPL while the versatile Short, who can also bowl off-spin, was a standout in Australia's recent Big Bash League.

Both were close to being included in the initial 15-man squad, but missed out due to the strength of Australia's top order, led by David Warner, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh.
