Matthew Short and Jake Fraser-McGurk
Jake Fraser-McGurk's outstanding IPL campaign has earned him a spot in the Australia's T20 World Cup squad, Short was initially out of the race but his versatility has given him a spot as travelling reserves.

"You look at Jake's form in the IPL – he took that by storm and he was a serious consideration for the final 15," coach Andrew McDonald told cricket.com.au.

"And so was Matthew Short. His BBL form has been outstanding over a long period of time and he's shown glimpses at the international level as well, albeit at times he's had to play a different role.

"When you're on the fringes potentially you're going to have to play different roles at different times and he's really embraced some middle-order opportunities.

"We know that he's best suited at the top of the order – and it's probably similar for Jake as well – hence why they haven't been picked in the in the initial 15.

"But should anything move, we feel as though both of them could have the flexibility to line up anywhere in that batting order."

Tanveer Sangha was in contention to be added to the squad but hurt his hip flexor which ruled him out of the T20 World Cup.

Australia's final World Cup squad: Mitch Marsh (c), Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa. Travelling reserves: Jake Fraser-McGurk, Matt Short.
