**Sydney, Australia** – Tasmanian all-rounder Beau Webster will make his highly anticipated Australian Test debut tomorrow at the Sydney Cricket Ground in the fifth and deciding Test against India.

Webster, dubbed “The Boy from Snug,” was the Sheffield Shield Player of the Season in 2023-24, amassing 938 runs at an average of 58.62 and taking 30 wickets at 29.3. His performance has been lauded as one of the greatest all-round Sheffield Shield seasons ever. He continued his strong form this season with a 113 against Victoria and impressive performances in Australia ‘A’ matches against India.
Cricket Tasmania and Cricket Australia expressed their pride and support for Webster, highlighting his dedication and unique skillset. Cricket Australia also acknowledged the traditional custodians of the land, the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation. The announcement was made alongside a mention of the artwork “Walkabout Wickets” by Kirrae Whurrong artist Fiona Clarke, connecting the present day cricketer to the rich history of Indigenous Australian cricket.
