Australia Drop This Star From Playing XI For Series-Deciding Test vs India. Debut Confirmed

Out-of-form all-rounder Mitch Marsh was axed Thursday from Australia's team for the series-deciding fifth Test against India in Sydney with Beau Webster to make his debut. Fast bowler Mitchell Starc retained his place for Friday's match despite carrying a rib niggle and will line up in the attack alongside Pat Cummins, Scott Boland and Nathan Lyon. "Mitchy obviously hasn't quite got the runs or wickets he would have liked this series and felt like it was time for a freshen up," said skipper Cummins.

Beau Webster And Sean Abbott: At Ease With Being The Men In Waiting" Of Australia Cricket

Sean Abbott and Beau Webster are linked by a common thread. They are just about there but not quite there when it comes to selection in Australia's final Test eleven.

Abbott, 32, has played 56 International games since his white ball debut a decade ago, but is still waiting to wear the whites and hold a red Kookaburra. Webster, 31, is a proper domestic doyen with 93 games under his belt in which he has made 5297 runs and grabbed 148 wickets.
