Jake Fraser-McGurk was scratched on the face by a monkey at a nature reserve in Kimberley last week.

Fraser-McGurk says it serves him right for getting too close to the animal enclosure.
Australia was knocked out by India in the quarter-finals and now have classification games to finish.
New Zealand plays the West Indies tonight.
