Agar has taken a total of 34 wickets in his international career thus far at an average of 28.79 and also has scored just above three hundred runs at an average of 20.60.
Background
Agar is of Sri Lankan background and has all the required physical attributes to suggest his left-arm spin will be successful, impressing one and all on his first-class debut for WA against New South Wales at the Blacktown Oval.
An intelligent and prudent young cricketer, Agar has also aspired towards a career in law.
Debut
Agar was selected to tour England, Scotland, and Ireland with Australian A team in June 2013.

He made his ODI debut against England on 8 September 2015.
He made his Twenty20 International debut for Australia against South Africa on 6 March 2016.
Rise to Glory
At the age of 19, he had a place in the squads of Western Australia, the Perth Scorchers, and also the national team, having sensationally been upgraded from a substitute on the 2013 tour of India to a more greater role in the Australian squad.
Agar's rise through the ranks continued as he was included in the playing XI for the first Ashes Test at Trent Bridge in 2013.
Low Points
While Agar was living a dream after his first Test, it turned out to be different. He was dropped after just one more Test.
Agar is still a work in progress but his development as a cricketer, particularly with the ball will please Australia as he slowly starts cementing his place in the side with time.
His performances in the BBL have proved that he is also a potent weapon with the white ball.
