Mitchell Marsh dropped, Beau Webster to debut in Sydney

Thu Jan 02 08:13:33 UTC 2025: ## Marsh Axed from Australia’s Test Squad, Webster to Debut

**Sydney, Australia** – Mitchell Marsh has been dropped from Australia’s Test team for the upcoming match against South Africa at the SCG, ending a lean run with both bat and ball. The all-rounder’s omission leaves his Test career at a crossroads. Tasmanian all-rounder Beau Webster has been called up as his replacement, marking his debut for the national side. Webster, described as a Tasmanian talisman, has expressed his readiness for the challenge. The only other potential concern for the Australians is a back issue for Mitchell Starc, but wicketkeeper Alex Carey remains confident the fast bowler will recover in time. While Marsh’s fitness has been questioned, some feel this is unfair given his recent performances.
