AUS vs IND: Marsh left out as Australia name XI for Sydney showdown
All-rounder Mitchell Marsh has been dropped from Australia's playing XI for the upcoming fifth and final showdown of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India, beginning Friday in Sydney. Beau Webster will be making his Test debut.
Meanwhile, Mitchell Starc has been declared fit to participate in the final contest. Starc had experienced issues with his back during the fourth Test but he has been deemed fit to play the final game. As far as Marsh is concerned, he has been under the cloud following his lacklustre performances in the past matches. In the last four games, he has been able to score 73 runs.
"Mitchy, obviously hasn't quite got the runs, or perhaps the wickets that he would have liked this series. So we felt like it was time for a freshening up, and Beau's been with the squad. He's been great. So it's a shame for Mitchy, because we know how much he brings to the team, but feel like now it's a good week for Beau to get a chance," Cummins said during the press conference.
Australia XI : Sam Konstas, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Beau Webster, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Scott Boland
