Overview

• Beau Webster acknowledged that Cameron Green resuming all‑round duties will intensify pressure on his No. 6 role and said he is ready to compete for his place.
• Selection chair George Bailey said Green’s return to bowling adds complexity to the batting order, indicating No. 3 is unlikely for Green heading into the Ashes.
• Webster’s early Test record features four half‑centuries and eight wickets in seven matches, but he noted the absence of a maiden century keeps his spot unsettled.
• Webster can press his claims in up to four Sheffield Shield games before the Nov. 21 Ashes opener, with the broader squad expected to be set after round three.
• Top‑order options are under consideration, with Jake Weatherald viewed as a realistic opener alongside Usman Khawaja if Sam Konstas is omitted.
