Young batter from Perth Cooper Connoly has been added to Australia’s T20I squad in a surprise inclusion as Australia named their squad for their upcoming tour of the United Kingdom.
The young-looking squad also features batting sensation Jake Fraser-McGurk, who has been incorporated into both T20I and ODI squads. On the back of strong performances in domestic cricket, Cooper Connoly has been included into Australia’s squad.
