In a significant development, Australia has faced a massive blow ahead of the second Test against India at Adelaide Oval. Mitchell Marsh has reportedly been injured and Beau Webster is named as his replacement for the second Test. 

According to the reports of Webster, the Tasmanian all-rounder, will likely receive his maiden call-up following the series-opening defeat at Perth Stadium, where Australia suffered a crushing 295-run loss to India.

Mitchell Marsh Likely To Miss Second Test Against India

Mitchell Marsh's injury has emerged as a key concern for the Australian camp. In the first Test match, Marsh has bowled 17 overs in the match, and has taken 2 wickets for 12 runs in the first innings and 1 wicket for 65 runs in the second innings. However, the all-rounder reportedly pulled up 'sore' after the Perth Test, that has led to concerns over his fitness ahead of the Adelaide Test.

It is important to mention that while there is a ten-day gap between the two Tests, Marsh’s recovery is under scrutiny, and should he fail to recover in time for the day-night contest at Adelaide Oval, Beau Webster will be in line to make his Test debut for Australia.
