Warwickshire sign Australian all-rounder
Warwickshire have signed new Australia Test all-rounder Beau Webster to strengthen their red and white ball options for the 2025 season.
Webster made a stunning impact on debut in the fifth Test against India earlier this month when top scoring in the first innings with 57 from 105 balls.
And the 31-year-old, from Tasmania, followed that up with an unbeaten 39 in the second as he hit the winning runs.
The hard-hitting right-hander, who bowls medium pace, will join the Bears squad at the start of May and stay until the end of July.
He will be available for Warwickshire’s County Championship games during the three-month spell and for Bears’ Vitality Blast North Group campaign.
Webster has considerable white ball experience in Australia having played Big Bash League (BBL) cricket for Hobart Hurricanes, Melbourne Renegades, and Melbourne Stars for who he signed for the 2024-25 season.
Elsewhere, England’s record wicket-taker James Anderson will restart his career with Lancashire at the age of 42 after agreeing a new one-year contract with the county. Anderson has not played since an emotional farewell to international cricket at Lord’s in July but has repeatedly said he wanted to continue his playing career
