In the fifth Test match against India, Beau Webster will make his debut after skipper Pat Cummins said Mitch Marsh was benched for the pivotal match due to a lacklustre series with the bat and ball.

The revelation comes a year after the all-rounder won the Allan Border Medal. Marsh hasn't bowled much since the first Test and has only scored 73 runs in this series. "One modification. On the eve of the fifth Test in Sydney, Cummins declared, "Marshy is out and Beau Webster is making his debut." In this series, Mitchy hasn't exactly achieved the runs or wickets he would have hoped for. “It felt like it was time for a freshen up, and Beau has been with the squad and has been great. It’s a shame for Mitchy because we know how much he brings to the team, but we felt now’s a good week for Beau to get a chance.”
