Australia allrounder released from squad to play BBL

Webster and Inglis gain BBL match practice while outside the immediate Test XI as Australia prepares for the New Year's Test at the SCG starting January 4.

  • On Dec 27, 2025, Australia released Beau Webster and Josh Inglis to play one BBL game each before the Sydney Test; Webster joins Hobart Hurricanes Monday, Inglis links with Perth Scorchers Tuesday at ENGIE Stadium.
  • With both players outside the XI, Cricket Australia said Webster and Inglis will rejoin the Australia Test squad in Sydney to prepare for the New Year's Test at the SCG starting January 4.
  • Webster's chance arises because Cameron Green has struggled, averaging 18.66 and throwing his wicket away twice, while Inglis faces an uphill recall after a top score of 32 in three innings.
  • For the BBL sides, releasing Webster and Inglis bolsters Hobart Hurricanes and Perth Scorchers after the two-day finish in Melbourne ahead of the fifth and final Ashes Test.
  • Looking ahead, the schedule means the BBL finals could squeeze T20 players during Pakistan T20Is, with a five-Test India series in January after New Zealand.
