Agar initially tore his calf during pre-season while training with Western Australia which ruled him out of the T20I series against South Africa in late August. He returned to play in the first ODI against South Africa in September but pulled up sore and was not able to play again before returning home for the birth of his first child.
“Given Agar is a nationally contracted player, WA Cricket will work closely with Cricket Australia to determine his return to play,” a WACA statement said.
When Agar was replaced in the World Cup squad selection chair George Bailey had kept the door ajar for him still playing a role, saying that if another injury occurred he could come back as a replacement player, although it’s understood his initial recovery timeline would have made that unlikely.
Agar may now face a tight timescale to be ready for the start of Perth Scorchers’ BBL tight defence which begins against Melbourne Renegades on December 10. He had a lean campaign last season with just six wickets in 10 matches.
