Jake Matthew Fraser-McGurk is an Australian cricketer who made his first-class debut in November 2019 for Victoria in the 2019-20 Sheffield Shield. He made his List A debut in November 2019, for Victoria in the 2019-20 Marsh One Day Cup. Just five days later, Fraser-McGurk added another feather to his cap by making his List A debut for Victoria in the Marsh One-Day Cup. Remarkably, he scored a fifty on his first-class, List A, and later, his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut, showcasing his natural batting prowess.

Fraser-McGurk's early exploits in domestic cricket caught the attention of the national selectors, and in December 2019, he was named in Australia's squad for the 2020 Under-19 Cricket World Cup. However, his participation in the tournament was cut short due to an unfortunate incident where he was scratched by a monkey during a team trip to a nature reserve.

Undeterred by the setback, Fraser-McGurk continued to make strides in his domestic career. On December 12, 2020, he made his Twenty20 debut for the Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League season.

Fraser-McGurk's meteoric rise reached new heights on October 8, 2023, when he etched his name in the record books by scoring the fastest List A hundred off just 29 balls, surpassing the previous record held by AB de Villiers.

In the 2024 IPL season, Fraser-McGurk showcased his talent on the global stage, representing the Delhi Capitals. On his debut, he scored an impressive 55 runs off just 35 balls against the Lucknow Super Giants.

While Fraser-McGurk's performances fueled speculation about his potential selection for the 2024 T20 World Cup, he ultimately missed out on the squad.
