Short missed the Scotland series for the birth of his first child but was happy to step in and participate in matches against England.
‘…Our travel roster is given this late so Riki told me to be ready just in case: which is just what I found out.
“I quite know that though with Davey Warner out you sort of know that the spot’s opened up.
“But then Jake Fraser-McGurk has been in the last few games over there in Scotland and so you really don’t know where you sit at that.”
“Just to say that it is good that I somehow saw that opening tonight and played my part in helping the team achieve the results tonight.”
No sooner than that happened, many observers tipped Fraser-McGurk for the role of the opener, even more so after Warner captioned a picture with him and the young opener stating; ‘All yours now champion’ after hanging out his boots last June.
Nevertheless, they resulted in Fraser-McGurk’s performance where he managed to sandy a 16 causing two ducks in a three-match series against the Scots.
Short was left out of the Australia side for the T20 World Cup in the USA and the West Indies, and the match at Southampton was Short’s first T20I since February.

Head coach Andre
w McDonald has stated that selectors were still in two minds whether it was in the team’s interest to persist with Smith opening in the upcoming five-Test series against India at home during the summer.
