Delhi Capitals has included Australian all-rounder Jack Fraser McGurk in the team in place of Ngidi. All-rounder Jack Fraser McGurk has represented the Australian team in two ODIs. He will join Delhi Capitals for Rs 50 lakh. According to the information, Lungi Ngidi suffered a back injury during the SA20 playoffs, from which he has not been able to recover yet.
fraser's masterpiece
Jack Fraser-McGurk of Australia is known for his stormy batting. He was in the headlines by scoring a century in just 29 balls in a List A match. Playing for South Australia, Fraser broke AB de Villiers' record of the fastest ODI century by scoring a century in just 29 balls. Fraser scored 125 runs in 38 balls with the help of 10 fours and 13 sixes. He scored 257 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 158.64 in BBL 2024.
Ponting is a follower of Fraser
It is noteworthy that Jack Fraser McGurk is being considered as the new sensation of Australian cricket. Ricky Ponting had strongly backed Fraser in the Big Bash League earlier this year. Ponting described the 21-year-old Fraser as a future Test star and said he reminded him of a young David Warner. Ricky Ponting is the head coach of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024. In such a situation, Jack Fraser McGurk may get many opportunities to play.
Delhi has a lot of star foreigners
By the way, Delhi Capitals already has many star foreign players, making it difficult for Jack Fraser McGurk to get a chance. Capitals already have Mitchell Marsh, David Warner, Anrich Nortje, Tristan Stubbs, Jhye Richardson and Shai Hope.
