Standing at almost 200 cms - Beau Webster is a solid top-order batsman and a handy bowler who can bowl both off-breaks and medium pace. Beau Webster plays for Tasmania in the Sheffield Shield. He made his first-class cricket debut in the Sheffield Shield against Queensland at Hobart in February 2014. Webster first burst onto the scene with dominant performances in the Tasmanian Premier League. <br/> <br/> At only 20, Webster amassed 677 runs at 45.13 for his local side Kingborough and was awarded a rookie contract in 2012-13 and made his first-class debut the season after. He also got picked by the Hobart Hurricanes for BBL but warmed the benches for the first couple of seasons. In the 2016-17 BBL, he finally got a chance to play and showed his mettle in a few games. During the transfer window ahead of BBL 07, Melbourne Renegades picked him up. After a couple of seasons for the Renegades, Webster moved to the Melbourne Stars in 2021/22. <br/> <br/> Webster has also represented Australia A in September 2016 against India A and put up a few memorable performances. His strong mental aspect was also seen when he scored a ton for Cricket Australia XI in September 2017 in their opening game of the JLT One Day cup after being ignored by his home team - Tasmania. <br/> <br/> In 2023, Webster played for Essex in the One-Day Cup and finished as both the team's leading run-scorer and the leading wicket-taker. <br/> <br/> <b>By Kumar Abhisekh Das</b>
