Rajkot: After winning a consolation victory against India in the last match of the ODI series, the Australian cricket team suffered a setback. Reportedly, star spinner Ashton Agar, who was ruled out of the series against India, will not be able to play in the World Cup. Auger missed the World Cup due to a lingering thigh muscle injury. Agar opted out of the ODI series against India due to personal reasons.
Left-arm spinner Agar was Australia’s main bowler along with Adam Sampa on the spin pitches in India. Agar, who is also a good batsman at the tail end, was also crucial in providing batting strength to the Aussies. Australia’s first match in the ODI World Cup, which starts with the New Zealand-England match on October 5, is against India at Chennai on the 8th. As the deadline for making changes to the preliminary squad for the World Cup squad ends today, fans are eagerly waiting for Aarav to replace Agar.

Agar was unable to play in the T20 series against South Africa due to a thigh injury. Instead of Agar, Tanveer Sanga, Mathew Short and Marnes Labusche, who played against India in Rajkot, are expected to replace Agar in the Aussie World Cup team. Adam Zampa is currently the only spinner in the Aussie World Cup squad as Travis Head also missed the World Cup earlier due to injury.
Australia won the third ODI in Rajkot yesterday after losing the first two matches of the ODI series against India. Batting first, the Aussies scored 352 runs for the loss of seven wickets, while India were all out for 286 in 49.4 overs.
