Beau Webster Debuts Sydney Test Confirmed: On one hand, the news of Akashdeep’s injury has increased the problems of the Indian team, although it has not been confirmed yet. On the other hand, Australia is also going to make changes in its playing eleven for the Sydney Test starting from January 3. Before the fifth and last match of the series, Australian captain Pat Cummins has announced that Beau Webster will be given a chance in place of Mitchell Marsh in Sydney.
The year 2023 was a great year for Marsh, for which he was also awarded the Allan Border Medal. But the year 2024 has been very bad for them. In the 4 matches of the current series against India, he has been able to score only 73 runs at an average of 10.43.

If we look at his performance for the entire year of 2024, he has scored only 283 runs while batting in 15 innings and has taken only 5 wickets in bowling.
