India vs Australia, Pink Ball Test: Tasmania all-rounder Beau Webster has been included in the Australian team as a cover for Mitchell Marsh, who was injured during the Perth Test match.
Major change in the Australian cricket team because of the second Test match between India and Australia under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In fact, Tasmania all-rounder Beau Webster has been included in the Australian team as a cover for Mitchell Marsh, who was injured during the Perth Test match. Beau Webster can make his debut in the second match i.e. day-night Test to be played against India at Adelaide Oval.
After losing to India by 295 runs in the Perth Test match, Australia captain Pat Cummins revealed about his injury during the press conference. He said that Mitchell Marsh has been struggling with minor injuries since the UK tour. The Pink Ball Test match between India and Australia will be played from 6 to 10 December next month. If Mitchell Marsh remains unfit before the match starts, then Beau Webster can become Australia's 468th Test cricketer in his place.
Since the beginning of 2022-23, Beau Webster has been doing exceptionally great in the Sheffield Shield. He scored 1788 runs at 51.08, 5 centuries, and 9 half-centuries during the last 24 months. A good thing that separates him from being on top of the board is that only one cricketer has outperformed him during the time span, and he is the West Australian Cricketer Cameron Bancroft. Apart from this, the 30-year-old right-handed bowler Beau Webster is an exciting right-arm fast bowler, who snared 30 Sheffield Shield wickets at 29.30 last summer. He made 145 runs at an average of 72.50 along with seven scalps in the recent series for Australia A against India A.
Beau Webster's score in first-class cricket is 5297 runs in 159 innings of 93 matches, with an average of 37.83, including 12 centuries and 24 half-centuries. He has bowled in 142 innings for a total of 148 wickets in the same 93 matches at an economy of 3.45 per over.
