Jake Fraser-McGurk’s return to the Australian team has been short-lived, axed for game two of the five-match T20 series against the West Indies.

The Australians will bowl first after captain Mitch Marsh won the toss at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica.

Left-arm tweaker Matt Kuhnemann has been summoned for a debut to replace paceman Sean Abbott.

It marks a milestone moment for Kuhnemann after being accused of an illegal action following his stellar Test series against Sri Lanka.

He was cleared weeks later following a formal assessment.

Fraser-McGurk’s omission has seen Glenn Maxwell promoted to open while middle-order blaster Tim David returns from a hamstring injury.

Fraser-McGurk had initially been left out of the squad for the series after a run of low scores for Australia, before earning a reprieve with a late call-up last week when Matt Short was injured.

But he was dismissed for just two runs off seven balls in the opener.

It is the latest short-lived revival for the 23-year-old, who was dropped after white-ball matches against Pakistan at the start of last summer before scoring two and nine in ODI appearances on the tour of Sri Lanka in February.

Meanwhile, West Indies named the same side that lost the first game by three wickets at the same venue.

The series continues in St Kitts on Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday (all times AEDT).

Australia: Mitch Marsh (capt), Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis, Cameron Green, Tim David, Mitch Owen, Cooper Connolly, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Matt Kuhnemann.

West Indies: Shai Hope (capt), Roston Chase, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Gudakesh Motie, Rovman Powell, Andre Russell, Sherfane Rutherford.
