Allrounder Beau Webster is set to provide an extra spin option for Australia in the first Test against Sri Lanka, beginning on Wednesday. Webster, who debuted as a pace option earlier this month, will revert to his off-spin bowling, adding flexibility to Australia's attack. Meanwhile, left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann has recovered from a thumb injury and is ready for the first Test.
Allrounder Beau Webster is preparing to give Australia n another spin option in the first Test against Sri Lanka , beginning on Wednesday. The full Australia n squad are in Galle and preparations are already in place for what is expected to be a wicket that provides plenty of turn.
Watch Australia’s tour of Sri Lanka on Seven and 7plus Sport Webster gave the Aussies an extra pace option when he made his debut in the fifth Test against India earlier this month, but looks set to revert to the off-spin he bowled earlier in his career. The 31-year-old bowled right-arm off-spinners during Australia’s training session on Sunday and his versatility is looming as a major trump card for the tourists. The flexibility gives Australia multiple options for their bowling attack.
Watch Australia’s tour of Sri Lanka on Seven and 7plus Sport Kuhnemann could not attend the squad’s preparatory camp at the ICC Academy in Dubai but managed a hit-out with a Cricket Australia XI against England Lions at Allan Border Field last week. “The boys said I didn’t miss out on too much and what I was bowling on back in Brisbane was an eight-day old wicket so it worked out pretty good,” Kuhnemann said.
