Domestic career

Webster became the captain of Cricket Australia XI for the 2017–18 JLT One-Day Cup. In the first match of the cup against South Australia he scored 121, his first List A century to help lead Cricket Australia XI to just the second win in the team's history. His 229-run partnership with Jake Carder was the fourth-highest second-wicket partnership in the history of Australia's domestic List A competition. He was named the player of the match for his efforts.[5] He again top scored for Cricket Australia XI against Western Australia with 52, but after he was out the team suffered a major batting collapse and lost comprehensively by 9 wickets.[6] He was Cricket Australia XI's top run scorer for the cup with 247 runs at an average of 41.16.[7]

In 2020, he also started medium bowling to take advantage of his height so it adds extra bounce on his deliveries.[8]
