Australian captain Steven Smith confirmed Ashton Agar will play his first Test in four years when the two-Test series against Bangladesh begins here today.
Agar made a sensational debut to Test cricket in 2013, scoring 98 runs in his maiden innings batting at No. 11 against England. But since then the Agar, 23, has made only one further Test appearance, and has been hungry for a return to the long format of the game.
It was not until his impressive form in the Sheffield Shield this season — he claimed 16 wickets and scored 115 runs in four innings for Western Australia — that he caught the eye of the selectors again. Agar will partner with offie Nathan Lyon on a supposedly spin friendly wicket.
