Jake Matthew Fraser-McGurk (born 11 April 2002) is an Australian cricketer.[1] He made his first-class debut on 12 November 2019, for Victoria in the 2019–20 Sheffield Shield.[2] He made his List A debut on 17 November 2019, for Victoria in the 2019–20 Marsh One-Day Cup.[3] He scored a fifty on his first-class, List A and IPL debut.[4]

In December 2019, he was named in Australia's squad for the 2020 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[5] However, he had to leave the tournament early, after being scratched by a monkey during a team trip to a nature reserve. He made his Twenty20 debut on 12 December 2020, for the Melbourne Renegades, in the 2020–21 Big Bash League season.[6] He scored the fastest List-A hundred off 29 balls on 8 October 2023, surpassing the previous record of 31 balls by AB de Villiers.[7] During the 2024 IPL season, Fraser-McGurk played for the Delhi Capitals. On debut, he scored 55 off 35 against the Lucknow Super Giants. He ended the season with 330 runs in 9 innings with a strike rate of 234, and smashing 32 fours and 28 sixes.[8] There was some speculation on if he would be picked for the 2024 T20 World Cup but he didn't make the squad.[9] However, he was added as a travelling reserve along with Matthew Short.[10]

In May 2024, he was named as a reserve player in Australia’s squad for the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup tournament.[11] On 15 July 2024, Fraser-McGurk was included in the Australia squad for a white-ball tour of England and Scotland to be held in September that year.[12] [13]

Personal life

Fraser-McGurk grew up in the Melbourne suburb of Mont Albert[14] and attended Carey Baptist Grammar School until the end of year 10. He completed his final two years of school through SEDA College.[15]

He started playing junior cricket aged 9 at Boroondara Cricket Club.[16]
