Darren Lehmann Urges Australia To Pick Ashton Agar As Second Spinner On Test Tour Of India

By IANS News January 23, 2023 • 12:15 PM View: 695

Former Australia head coach Darren Lehmann has urged the current Test side to pick left-arm spin all-rounder Ashton Agar as the second spinner to partner off-spinner Nathan Lyon for the upcoming four-Test tour of India, ahead of leg-spinner Mitchell Swepson and uncapped off-spinner Todd Murphy.

Agar only has five Test caps to his name since his debut in 2013 and went wicket-less during Australia's third and final Test match against South Africa in Sydney earlier this month. But Lehmann expects conditions in Nagpur, New Delhi, Dharamshala and Ahmedabad to suit Agar.
