Wes Agar, a 24-year old pacer who is one among the 29-members who got picked for the Australian side for the limited-overs tour of the West Indies and Bangladesh believes that training alongside Australian speed stars like Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc will be a “massive learning curve” for him.
Wes, who will be joining his older brother Ashton Agar in the Australian team, is excited to train with Hazlewood and Starc, who are expected to arrive at the camp in the coming days.
“Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc are the best in the world, so to watch them and to work with them and train alongside them and just to be in this squad with them is a massive learning curve for me,” said the 24-year-old. Speaking to cricket.com.au, Agar added, “To know that I’m alongside them in the squad now is something that really motivates me, and hopefully it helps me learn what it takes to compete at the top level.”
Wes, who is an important member of the Adelaide Strikers and the South Australian setup, has impressed the selectors in the domestic T20s, with 41 wickets from 32 matches at 23.8 and an economy rate of 8.81. Agar was also named the 2019-20 Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year.
