Tasmanian all-rounder Beau Webster has been added in the Australia's squad ahead of the second Test against India at the Adelaide Oval.

Beau WebsterDespite Andre McDonald's indication to go with unchanged squad, but Mitchell Marsh's sore has forced Australia to bring in Beau Webster. Marsh pulled up sore after bowling the most overs he has in a game for three years.

There is still a ten-day gap between the Perth and Adelaide Tests and if Mitchell Marsh fails to recover from his injury, the Tassie all-rounder might get his Baggy Green cap and become Australia's 468th Test cricketer. Beau Webster is the most consistent cricketer in the Sheffield Shield over the last 24 months.

Since the start of 2022/23 season, he has accumulated 1788 runs at a jaw dropping average of 51.08, including five hundreds and nine fifties. He's also a handy right-arm seamer, picking up 30 Sheffield Shield wickets at 29.30 last summer. 

During the recent Australia A series against India A, he scored 145 runs at an eye-watering average of 72.50 and claimed seven wickets in both the innings.

Australia squad for second Test: Pat Cummins (Captain), Scott Boland, Alex Carey (Wicketkeeper), Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitch Marsh, Nathan McSweeney, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Beau Webster.
