The 22-year-old had made heads turn earlier in the year in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL), where he scored 330 runs at an absurd strike rate of 234.04 for the Delhi Capitals (DC).

Taking strike in the second innings, Fraser-McGurk lasted only three balls as he miscued a pull shot straight to Charlie Cassell at mid-on to depart for a three-ball duck.

As a result, the Aussie batter became the first Aussie top six batter and the third Australian player overall to register a duck on debut. The other two to have been dismissed for a duck on T20I debut for Australia are Ashley Noffke (2007) and Jhye Richardson (2017). Noffke famously got dismissed for a diamond duck back in 2007, against New Zealand in Perth.

The duck extended the horror run for Fraser-McGurk in T20s. He was a reserve in Australia s T20 World Cup 2024 squad. He is replacing the retired David Warner in Australia s T20I side.
