Beau Webster joins Australia squad as cover for Mitchell Marsh for second Test against India in Adelaide.
Beau Webster has been added to the Australia squad for the second Test against India at Adelaide from December 6.
The all-rounder from Tasmania, has been drafted in as cover for Mitchell Marsh, who was injured during the first Test at Perth which the host lost by 295 runs.
While the Australian team-management have hinted at sticking with the same unit, Marsh’s fitness concern may force a change.
Webster, also a right-hand pace all-rounder like Marsh, has been the stand out performer in the Sheffield Shield over the past two years. The 30-year-old has collected 1788 runs including five hundreds and nine fifties.
He also impressed in the A series against India earlier this month, becoming the the second highest run-getter for Australia A behind compatriot Nathan McSweeney, collecting 145 runs across four innings at an impressive average of 72.50.
With the ball, he became the joint-leading wicket-taker alongside Brendan Doggett both taking seven scalps each.
“To get a few runs and wickets (for Australia A) was pleasing against a strong Indian side,” Webster was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au ahead of the announcement on Thursday.

Agricultural workers, tribal communities, and residents of remote villages bear the brunt of this crisis, which often leads to death, permanent disability, and lasting psychological trauma. In many ways, snakebite is the “poor man’s disease,” disproportionately affecting the country’s most vulnerable populations.
