Beau Webster confident of cementing Test spot against Bangladesh

Beau Webster confident of cementing Test spot against Bangladesh

Beau Webster is a cricketer who plays for Australia and does two jobs: he bats and he bowls.

People who do both are called all-rounders.

About a year ago, he played in his very first Test match, which is the oldest and longest form of cricket.

At first, he was not sure he was good enough to play at this level, but now he says he knows he is.

He has had great moments, like scoring the most runs for Australia in a big final at Lord's and helping the team beat the West Indies.

There were also times when he was not picked, but in his most recent match he made 71 runs without getting out and took three wickets.

Now he hopes to keep his place for the two matches against Bangladesh.

He also wants the team to pick another all-rounder named Cameron Green so the captain has more choices.

Those matches will be played in two Australian cities, Darwin and Mackay, in August.
