  • Beau Webster is set to take Mitchell Marsh's place as Australia's all-rounder when they face India in the fifth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Beau Webster, a 30-year-old all-rounder from Tasmania, has been called up to the Australian cricket team for the fifth Test against India, replacing the struggling Mitchell Marsh. Webster, who has previously played for Australia in T20 cricket, has been in fine form in the Sheffield Shield, scoring 554 runs at an average of 61.55 and taking 13 wickets at an average of 39.61 this season. His selection comes as Marsh has been unable to make a significant impact in the series, with scores of 0, 15, 0, and 6. Webster's inclusion is seen as a strategic move to bolster the team's batting and provide an additional bowling option, especially with Cameron Green also in the squad. This opportunity marks a significant moment in Webster's career, having been a consistent performer in domestic cricket but never quite making it to the Test level until now.
