Beau Webster's role could grow if Cameron Green misses South Africa Tests
Webster offers seam-bowling and off-spin options that could prove useful on a turning Kingsmead surface.
Beau Webster's role in Australia's three-Test series against South Africa could expand after Cameron Green sustained a lower abdominal strain in the final ODI. Webster has been training as cover and said he is preparing without assuming selection. Australia's selectors are weighing middle-order options including Cooper Connolly and Nic Maddinson if Green is ruled out of the Durban opener on October 9.
CricHubb Take
Green's potential absence forces Australia to decide between two distinct middle-order profiles, either Connolly's left-arm spin or Webster's all-round utility, rather than a straight swap.
