Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25: Australia To Add Uncapped Beau Webster To Squad For Pink-Ball Test
Australia are set to add uncapped fast-bowling all-rounder Beau Webster into their squad for the second Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test, to be played with the pink ball in Adelaide, starting on December 6.
