Boy wonder snubbed, new skipper confirmed in 15-man Aussie T20 World Cup squad

Stoinis makes another IPL statement! | 01:10Australian selectors have rejected the temptations offered by precocious talent Jake Fraser-McGurk and will rely on a core group of established cricketers in a bid to become the first nation to be world champions in all three formats of the sport at the same time.

Nor did the dazzling IPL performances of Fraser-McGurk, who also impressed when representing Australia in ODIs against the West Indies last summer, prove enough for selectors to choose the 22-year-old as a wildcard option for the tournament. “Being constrained to a squad of 15 for World Cups is always a challenge given the different scenarios and options we’d like to cover. We will continue monitoring several players who have missed out on this preliminary squad and note that if we wish to change this squad, we have the option to do so over the coming weeks in accordance with ICC regulations.

Glenn Maxwell has returned to the IPL after a brief “mental and physical” break while Warner, who has bone bruising on his left hand, remains the ideal candidate to partner Head at the top of the order, according to selectors. “It’s great to have Ashton Agar back into the squad following a spate of unfortunate and untimely injuries. We believe Ashton can play a critical role in this tournament along with Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Cam Green and Mitch Marsh in complementing our front-line attack options. The batting options available allow a tailored approach to each venue and opponent.”
