Webster to replace Mitchell Marsh
The Pink Ball Test will be held in Adelaide, for which the Australian team has included Webster. This player will replace Mitchell Marsh, who is injured. Marsh bowled a total of 17 overs in the Perth Test. Captain Pat Cummins gave an update on Marsh’s injury at a press conference on November 25.
He had said: “Marsh was unwell after the England tour and was having trouble swallowing.” He started to feel pain after the Perth test. In such a situation he has 10 more days to recover and we hope he makes a full recovery.
Let us tell you that Mitchell Marsh could not perform well with the bat in the first innings. He was left out very cheap after scoring 6 runs. But in the bowling he dismissed Dhruv Jurel and Washington Sundar. During the run chase, Marsh scored 47 runs in 47 balls.
