Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Travis Head have been rested for the series.
The WI vs AUS T20Is will begin on July 21. Jake Fraser-McGurk hasn’t had a great time in the last year. The youngster burst onto the scene with his blistering hitting ability, sending the ball a long way into the crowd in the Big Bash League (BBL). In his superb BBL 2023-24 season for Melbourne Renegades, he scored 257 runs from eight innings at a strike rate of 158. It got him a gig at Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. It proved to be a career-defining move for the youngster.

Brought in late as a replacement player in IPL 2024, Fraser-McGurk smashed 330 runs from eight games at a stunning strike rate of 234. It fast-tracked him to the Australian T20I side by the end of 2024.
But the next BBL season, the 23-year-old was in the focus for the wrong reasons. The bowlers had found a way to get him out very soon. His high score of 95 runs in the clash against Brisbane Heat was the only saving grace of a poor season. He scored only 93 runs from the remaining nine matches.
ALSO READ:
Same deliveries and similar dismissals haunted him in the IPL 2025, where he was retained by DC. Even during the impressive form in the early stages of the tournament, JFM was faltering with the bat and managed to score only 55 runs from six matches. He was later benched and then replaced by Mustafizur Rahman after the league was suspended.
With Australia, he had multiple opportunities but has managed to score only 211 runs from seven ODIs and as many T20Is.
Ahead of the T20I series in the Caribbean, Fraser-McGurk was called on as a wicketkeeping cover for Josh Inglis. He was expected to warm up the bench. But, an opportunity opened up for him as all-rounder Matthew Short picked up a minor niggle. JFM now has a place in the playing XI in the first T20I in Kingston on Sunday.
Australia will also see captain Mitchell Marsh play purely as a batter due to injury concerns. Meanwhile, regulars such as Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Travis Head have been rested for the five-match series.
