T20 World Cup: Australia spinner Ashton Agar has taken a bold step to opt out of state and national contracts. Agar has embraced the life of a T20 freelancer, signalling a shift that could become commonplace among cricketers in the coming years.

Agar's decision marks a significant turn in his career, prioritising flexibility and global opportunities over the traditional security of state and national contracts. His move comes at a pivotal moment, as he prepares to don Australian colours again for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the Caribbean.

The spinner, who has had limited international exposure over the past 18 months, is poised to rejoin the squad as Adam Zampa's spinning partner on pitches expected to favour spin.
