- Published
All-rounder Beau Webster has been released from Australia's Test squad to play against England Lions in a four-day match starting on Friday.
The 32-year-old was left out of Australia's squad for the second Ashes Test with batter Josh Inglis preferred but will get a chance to push his case for a recall.
Webster is one of six capped players in a strong Australia A side. Bowler Jhye Richardson, spinner Todd Murphy, batters Matt Renshaw and Nathan McSweeney plus all-rounder Cooper Connolly are also in the XI.
Batter Jacob Bethell and spinner Shoaib Bashir were also added to England Lions' squad following their omission from the Test side.
