Here's What Jake Fraser-McGurk Said During The Willow Talk Podcast

As reported by International Cricket Council (ICC), the Australian had the following to say during his appearance on the podcast:

"There's two ways you can look at it. 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. They (selectors) probably had a good idea of what (the squad) was a month and a half ago, trying to build that, how they can get the connection in that team. It's also hard to fit in. You've got David Warner, our best opener ever in three formats. You've got Travis Head, who's lighting it up over here (in the IPL) and has lit up for the past 18 months," said Fraser-McGurk, during the Willow Talk podcast.

"And then Mitch Marsh is the same and he's also the captain. I can't really see myself batting five or six because we're pretty set there with Timmy David, Cam Green, those sort of blokes. So that's the way I think about it. That's fine. There's hopefully going to be more time for that," he added.
