A tall and aggressive paceman, Agar is an emerging fast bowler with huge potential.

He made his Big Bash debut with the Strikers in BBL|06 and went head-to-head with older brother Ashton in Adelaide's clash with the Scorchers in WA last season.

A strong Strikers bowling lineup limited Agar to a single match for the season, but he remained an important and popular member of the squad throughout the team's Championship-winning campaign.

The right-arm quick is a graduate of the National Performance Squad and starred for South Australia at the 2015 Under-19 National Championships with 10 wickets for the tournament, including 5/37 against Tasmania.

Originally from Victoria, Agar has five List A appearances for SA to his name and is one to watch in the future.
