Fraser-McGurk Needs Fine-tuning To Make Runs In Longer Format, Opines Mark Taylor
Jake Fraser: Former Australia skipper Mark Taylor said young batter Jake Fraser-McGurk needs a bit more of fine-tuning in order to make runs in the longer format and be considered for Test selection in future.
Fraser-McGurk, seen by many as a successor of David Warner in the opening role, hasn't played in Sheffield Shield games for South Australia in the current season after playing lots of white-ball cricket internationally and in the IPL, leaving him no space to work on his red-ball skills.
He will be next seen in action when Australia play ODIs against Pakistan at home from November 4. "I don't know at this stage (whether he could play Test cricket), but I couldn't put him in there right now. If you look back at David's career, yes he started as a T20 player, but he always had a fairly sound technique as well."
