AUS vs IND: Before the day-night test, Australia made a big move, secretly got the entry of this unknown player
Cricket News Desk. All-rounder Beau Webster, who is yet to play an international match, could be included in the Australian squad for the second Test against India as cover for the injured Mitchell Marsh. According to Fox Cricket, Webster has been included in Australia's squad for the day-night Test match starting in Adelaide from 6 December.
Marsh was injured in the Perth Test
After Australia's 295-run defeat against India in the first Test match, Australian captain Pat Cummins said, 'He (Marsh) has been struggling with some problems since the UK tour. He was a little worried in this match also. He has 10 days to get completely fit. We will take a decision only after assessing his fitness.
Webster is a fast bowling all-rounder
If Marsh does not recover in time for the second Test, Webster could be given a chance to make his debut. The 30-year-old all-rounder Webster, who hails from Tasmania, has performed well in the Sheffield Shield in the last two years. He has scored 1788 runs with the help of five centuries and nine half-centuries. Like Marsh, he is also a right-arm fast bowler.
Australia is coming after losing the first match
Beau Webster had an impressive performance for Tasmania in the Sheffield Shield match against New South Wales earlier this week, taking five wickets and playing two useful innings of 61 and 49. Despite the heavy defeat in the first Test, Australia are unlikely to make major changes to their team for the second Test.
