  • Australian legend Ricky Ponting believes that the selectors should take a gamble and include a 23-year-old uncapped Big Bash League (BBL) star in the ICC Champions Trophy squad to replace injured all-rounder Mitchell Marsh.

Ponting praised Fraser-McGurk's ability to handle pressure and his potential to step up in international cricket, indicating that the young player's inclusion could provide the team with the necessary firepower in Marsh's absence.
