Jake Fraser-McGurk T20I Debut: Australia's young batting sensation Jake Fraser-McGurk's much-awaited T20I debut ends in a dismal manner, as the swashbuckling slogger registers a three-ball duck during Australia's chase of 155 against Scotland.

Australia are playing Scotland for the first time in a bilateral series, and during the 1st T20I, the Delhi Capitals opener opted to take on Scotland's Brandon McMullen, but failed to do so, and was caught at mid-wicket region by fellow debutant, Charlie Cassell.

However, Australia did not let the momentum tilt in Scotland's favour, as the pair of Travis Head and captain Mitchell Marsh went on to create a world record for the highest score in powerplay of a T20 International, by scoring 113/1 in 6 overs.

Jake Fraser McGurk now becomes the 6th Australian playe to score a duck on T20I debut, but there is no denying that the 22-year-old is one of the most exciting cricketers in modern day cricket, and his ability to hit the ball in all directions make him a special player.

List of players who scored a duck on T20I debut/debut innings for Australia:

• Ashley Noffke Vs New Zealand at WACA Ground, 2007
• David Hussey Vs West Indies, Kensington Oval, 2008
• Ben Cutting Vs West Indies at Brisbane Cricket Ground, 2013
• Jhye Richardson Vs Sri Lanka at GMHBA Stadium, 2017
• Josh Hazlewood Vs West Indies at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, 2021
• Jake Fraser McGurk Vs Grange Cricket Club, 2024
