Beau Webster is set to make his much-anticipated test debut for Australia, as the team made a strategic move by replacing the underperforming Mitchell Marsh for the upcoming match against India.
Marsh had struggled, only amassing 73 runs over the four initial tests, while managing limited contribution with the ball. Captain Pat Cummins announced the decision, aiming to inject new energy into the lineup.
Australia, leading the series 2-1, seeks to secure the Border-Gavaskar Trophy while testing Webster's prowess. Despite a back niggle, Mitchell Starc will join the squad, determined to play through the pain to help his team in this crucial face-off.
