30-year-old Tasmania all-rounder Beau Webster, who has 5297 runs and 148 wickets to his name in 93 First-Class matches played so far, was added to Australia’s squad on Thursday (November 28) for the second Test of ongoing five-match series between India and Australia.
The second Test of ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played with pink ball from December 6 to 10 at Adelaide Oval in Adelaide.
Webster, who has never played for Australia in any format of the game, played in the two unofficial Tests between India A and Australia A earlier this month and impressed with his all-round performances.
In an official statement released on Thursday, Cricket Australia said, “Tasmanian allrounder Beau Webster has been added to the Australian men’s squad for the second NRMA Insurance Test match against India in Adelaide.”
“Webster will join the squad in Adelaide next week having been named the Sheffield Shield player of the year last summer and continuing that form this season.”
“Jack Nisbett, meanwhile, has been brought in to replace Jem Ryan, who sustained a foot injury at the weekend, in the Prime Minister’s XI to play India in Canberra this weekend.”
