In a perfect world, Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matt Short aren’t required for Australia at this tournament. 

They’ll be ready to go if injury strikes the main squad.

But for now, they’re enjoying the best the Caribbean has to offer and they sit down for a chat with Josh Schonafinger and Louis Cameron by the hotel pool in St Lucia. 

On the agenda is the IPL, golf, mullets and red-ball ambitions.
