Beau Webster Replaces Mitchell Marsh in Test Team

Mitchell Marsh has been dropped from the Australian Test squad for the series finale against India, with Beau Webster set to make his debut at the SCG. Australian captain Pat Cummins confirmed that Marsh's poor performance, averaging just 10.42 in the series and contributing minimally with the ball, prompted the change. Webster, who has excelled in the Sheffield Shield, scored 938 runs last season and has taken 30 wickets, making him a strong addition to the team. Despite dealing with rib soreness, Mitchell Starc has been cleared to play, maintaining the bowling lineup alongside Cummins, Scott Boland, and Nathan Lyon. Australia leads the series 2-1 and aims to secure the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade. The match is crucial for India, as a victory would allow them to retain the trophy they have held for five consecutive series.
