Ashton Charles Agar was born on October 14th, 1993 and is an Australian cricketer who plays all forms of the game internationally. Agar plays domestically for Western Australia and the Perth Scorchers. As a left-handed spin bowler, he played two test matches for the Australian national team during the 2013 Ashes series.

Agar was chosen in June 2013 to tour England, Scotland and Ireland with Australia A. Along with Fawad Ahmed, a Pakistani refugee who was granted Australian citizenship in early July 2013, he was widely considered a candidate for a final position on Australia's roster for the 2013 Ashes series in England. A place in the squad for a second weirdo behind Nathan Lyon had been reserved to be assigned to one of the two weirdos based on form prior to the tour.

Named after his good form for Australia A, Agar was named to make his Test debut in the first Test of the series (played at Trent Bridge, Nottingham), replacing Lyon on the team on the previous tour. At the age of 19 years and 269 days, he became the twelfth youngest Australian playtester, as well as the youngest Australian since Archie Jackson (during the 1928-1929 series), who made his Test debut in the ashes.

On debut, he scored 98 runs of 101 balls, finishing eleventh in Australia's first innings, and broke several Test records, including becoming the first player to score a number eleven batsman on his debut half a century, the highest score of a number eleven batsman and , with Phillip Hughes, highest partnership (163 runs) for tenth wicket.

Agar played in the first two Tests of the series and, despite his debut batting performance, had very limited success with the ball, taking 0/24, 2/82, 0/44 and 0/98 for a bowling average of 124. He was subsequently dropped from the team for the third and fourth tests and returned home due to illness before the final test. Lyon replaced him in the team. During India's 2014-15 Australia tour, he was inducted into Australia's roster for the Fourth Test, a dead gum on a spin-friendly pitch at the Sydney Cricket Ground, but he didn't play in the game, with Lyon being preferred as Australia's only spinner.

In 2015, Agar was not granted a spot on The Ashes squad, but became a permanent fixture on the A-list roster. It would make its limited-edition debut after the Ashes series.

He made his One Day International debut against England on September 8, 2015. [45] On March 6, 2016, he made his debut at Twenty20 International for Australia against South Africa.

In 2017, Agar was recalled to Australia's testing site for their tour of Bangladesh, winning a total of 5 wickets in the first test match, as well as an impressive 41 that weren't knocked out in Australia's first innings. Despite their best efforts, Australia lost to Bangladesh for the first time in Test cricket.
In April 2018 he received a national contract from Cricket Australia for the 2018/19 season.

On February 21, 2020, in the first T20I match against South Africa, Agar became the second bowler for Australia and 13th overall to score a hat trick in a T20I match. He finished the match with numbers 5/24 from his four overs, his first five-wicket haul in a T20I match.

In April 2020, Cricket Australia Agar signed a key contract ahead of the 2020/21 season. On July 16, 2020, Agar was named to a 26-strong provisional squad of players to begin training ahead of a possible tour to England following the COVID-19 pandemic. On August 14, 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed that the games would take place, with Agar being included in the touring party.

On March 3, 2021, during the series against New Zealand, Agar had the best scores for a bowler for Australia and the fifth best scores overall in T20Is, with 6/30 of his four overs.
