This is a big concern as Australia will have to look for another bowling option now. That is where Beau Webster comes in. Beau Webster with this selection, can earn his maiden Test cap. The 30-year-old is an all-rounder who is performing well for the Tasmania cricket team in the Sheffield Shield matches. Looking at his performances he might get a call up. Pat Cummins during the post-match press conference of IND vs AUS 1st Test said, "Marsh has been battling a couple of little niggles since the UK tour. He was a little bit sore towards the end of this Test match, so the next ten days he has a chance to freshen up and try to get it right. We’ll see how he goes." Latest ICC Test Rankings 2024: Jasprit Bumrah Regains Top Bowler Spot; Yashasvi Jaiswal Rises to Second Among Batters.

Beau Webster can play a game-changing role in Australia's squad for IND vs AUS 2nd Test as the hosts will be looking to make a comeback.
