Australia Adds Beau Webster to Test Squad Ahead of Adelaide Match Against India

The uncapped all-rounder joins the team as cover for Mitchell Marsh, whose fitness remains uncertain after the first Test defeat.

Beau Webster, a versatile all-rounder from Tasmania, has been added to Australia's squad for the second Test against India, starting December 6 in Adelaide.
Webster's inclusion follows concerns over Mitchell Marsh's ability to bowl due to soreness after the first Test, where he had his heaviest bowling workload since 2019.
Webster has been in excellent form, leading the Sheffield Shield last season with 938 runs at an average of 58.62 and continuing strong performances this year in both batting and bowling.
Australia's selectors are expected to retain most of the team despite their 295-run loss in the first Test, with Marnus Labuschagne under scrutiny for his extended slump in form.
The addition of Webster provides flexibility as he can bat in various positions and contribute with both pace and spin bowling, enhancing Australia's options for the pink-ball Test.
