Player Story

Agar has evolved into one of Australia's premier limited overs bowlers. 

An economical left-arm orthodox spinner with excellent composure, impressive control and numerous variations, Agar is a regular in Australian T20 squads. 

The tall left-hander also strikes the ball powerfully while batting in the lower-middle-order, and stands among the country's most dynamic fielders. 

In the first T20I match against South Africa in 2019, he became only the second Australian bowler to take a hat-trick in a T20I match and finished with figures of 5-24.

Agar bettered that effort in March, 2021, when he collected 6-30 against New Zealand in Wellington. This remains the only time an Australian bowler has taken six wickets in a T20I match. 

A Victorian native who joined WA ahead of the 2012-13 domestic season, Agar started to 2022-23 KFC Big Bash League season ranked as Perth's fourth-highest wicket-taker of all time and 10th-highest run-scorer of all time. 

Agar claimed the Simon Katich Medal as Perth Scorchers' best-and-fairest player of BBL|11, contributing significantly during the Club's title-winning campaign.
