Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Australia to add uncapped Beau Webster to squad for pink-ball Test

New Delhi: Australia are set to add uncapped fast-bowling all-rounder Beau Webster into their squad for the second Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test, to be played with the pink ball in Adelaide, starting on December 6.

A report by News Corp on Wednesday said Webster has been picked up as an injury cover for fellow all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, who has pulled up “sore” following the series opener, where Australia suffered a 295-run loss to India inside four days at Perth Stadium.

Though there’s a ten-day gap between first and second Tests, if Marsh fails to recover in time for the Adelaide game, after bowling more than ten overs in Perth, then Webster has a chance to become Australia’s 468th men’s Test cricketer. IANS
