On Friday night, Uttarakhand’s Raghvi Bisht and Nandini Kashyap – ‘best friends’ ever since they started playing together at the age group level for the state up to senior level – received their first call-ups to the senior Indian squad together. On Sunday morning, teenagers G Kamalini, Joshitha VJ, and Niki Prasad were on the field together for the India U19 side, comfortably winning the Asia Cup match against Pakistan U19. Meanwhile in Ahmedabad, on a rest day in the Women’s Senior ODI Trophy, Mumbai’s Simran Shaikh was glued to the proceedings in Bengaluru nervously, hoping at least someone would pick up the paddle for her. By Sunday night, all their lives had changed as they found new homes in the Women’s Premier League. It was the defining narrative to emerge from the WPL 2025 auction, with 14 out of the 19 available slots going to uncapped Indian cricketers. On the flip side, none of the 10 capped Indian players who were part of the final shortlist found takers, including Sneh Rana and Poonam Yadav. …

Sean Abbott and Brendon Doggett have been added to Australia’s squad for 2nd Test.© AFP Australian pace spearhead Josh Hazlewood was on Saturday ruled out of the second Test against India in Adelaide, with seamers Sean Abbott and Brendon Doggett added to their squad. The right-armer, who took five wickets in Australia’s 295-run first Test defeat at Perth, has what Cricket Australia described as “a low-grade left side injury”. “Hazlewood will remain with the group in Adelaide to prepare for the remainder of the series,” CA added. While the uncapped Abbott and Doggett were drafted in, Hazelwood’s absence is likely to open the door for Scott Boland to play in the day-night Test that starts on Friday.

“Get Him In”: Australia Great Calls For The Inclusion Of 30-Year-Old Uncapped Star For BGT 2nd Test

“Get Him In”: Australia Great Calls For The Inclusion Of 30-Year-Old Uncapped Star For BGT 2nd Test

Published by Webster

Former Australian wicketkeeper batter Ian Healy has urged the team think tank to seriously consider handing Beau Webster a Test cap in the pink ball fixture against India at Adelaide next week. The selectors on Thursday added the Tasmanian all-rounder to the squad for the second Test as a cover for Mitchell Marsh, who is managing an ankle issue. But Healy doesn’t want Webster to just be a “standby”. “I like that, but I don’t reckon standby, get him in,” Healy said on SEN Radio. “I don’t really like just adding him to the squad unless he’s going to play, drop the 12th man.” Marsh had pulled up sore after bowling the most overs he has in a Test match in three years during the Perth Test. As a result, Australia had to rely on spin and medium-pace overs from Marnus Labuschagne, along with five overs of off-spin from Travis Head during their 295-run humbling in the series opener. Webster, who is also a right-arm pacer like Marsh, is expected to come into …

Australia Add Uncapped All-Rounder Beau Webster To Squad For BGT 2nd Test vs India

Published by Webster

Australia have added uncapped all-rounder Beau Webster to the squad for the second Test against India as cover for Mitchell Marsh, whose fitness remains a concern. Marsh had pulled up “sore” following Australia’s 295-run hammering in the series opener in Perth earlier this week. Webster, also a right-hand pace all-rounder like Marsh, has been the stand out performer in the Sheffield Shield over the past two years. The 30-year-old has collected 1788 runs including five hundreds and nine fifties. He starred in Tasmania’s Sheffield Shield match against New South Wales earlier this week, striking a 61 and 49 besides taking five wickets. “To get a few runs and wickets (for Australia A) was pleasing against a strong Indian side,” Webster was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au ahead of the announcement on Thursday. “Any time you’re playing ‘A’ cricket, it’s the one step below Test level, so it does hold you in good stead. To get the call from ‘Bails’ (men’s selection chair George Bailey) at the end of the NSW game was a …

Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25: Australia To Add Uncapped Beau Webster To Squad For Pink-Ball Test

Published by Webster

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. A report by News Corp on Wednesday said Webster has been picked up as an injury cover for fellow all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, who has pulled up “sore” following the series opener, where Australia suffered a 295-run loss to India inside four days at Perth Stadium. Though there’s a ten-day gap between first and second Tests, if Marsh fails to recover in time for the Adelaide game, after bowling more than ten overs in Perth, then Webster has a chance to become Australia’s 468th men’s Test cricketer. “Has he pulled up OK? We’ll wait and see. We knew that Mitch (Marsh) was slightly underdone coming in, but I thought the performance in the first innings was satisfactory,” said head coach Andrew McDonald following the loss at Perth. Webster had amassed scores of 61 and 49, as well as picked 3/81 and 2/25 …
