Beau Webster Makes Test Debut for Australia in Decisive Border-Gavaskar Trophy Match

The 31-year-old Tasmanian all-rounder replaces Mitchell Marsh for the fifth Test against India, with Australia aiming for their first series win in a decade.

  • Beau Webster received his Baggy Green from Australian cricket legend Mark Waugh before making his international debut in the fifth Test against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
  • The 31-year-old replaces Mitchell Marsh, who was dropped due to poor form with both bat and ball during the series.
  • Webster has been in exceptional domestic form, becoming only the second player in Sheffield Shield history to score over 900 runs and take 30 wickets in a single season, alongside Garfield Sobers.
  • Known for his versatility, Webster bowls both pace and spin, a skill he developed after transitioning from off-spin to pace bowling just four years ago.
  • Australia is vying for their first Border-Gavaskar Trophy series win in a decade, with the final match set to determine the outcome of the closely contested series.
