Australian youngster Jake Fraser-McGurk quickly came into limelight after making his debut for Delhi Capitals in the IPL in 2024. With a brilliant debut season, McGurk was a highly invested player, but only the Capitals were disappointed. It was impossible for him to get an IPL 2026 contract.
Keeping in mind his poor form, teams did not invest a fair amount of money on the former Delhi Capitals opener. The opening batsman has also been ignored by the Australian team, while he was last seen with San Francisco Unicorns in Major League Cricket 2025.

The 23-year-old Australian cricketer made his IPL debut in 2024, but has been playing BBL since 2020.
The South Australian cricketer plays for Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League, but has not had a promising season so far.
Although JFM is known for his tremendous striking and ability to score very quickly at the top, he has often been criticized for his inconsistency with the bat.
Jake Fraser-McGurk’s IPL numbers
While playing for Delhi Capitals, he scored 330 runs in 9 innings in 2024 and then could score only 55 runs in 6 matches in the next season of 2025.
This dreadful record showing and his absence from any major global league since then made his selection highly unlikely for any franchise. Even in the BBL, he had a poor start, getting out for just 14 runs against Brisbane Heat.
