Cricketer Ashton Agar: A record-breaking career and a controversial incident

Ashton Charles Agar (born Oct 14, 1993) is an Australian left-arm orthodox spin-bowling all-rounder, known for his dynamic fielding and lower-order batting for the Perth Scorchers, Western Australia, and Australia. He made a historic Test debut scoring 98 at number 11 in the 2013 Ashes but found his niche in white-ball cricket, becoming a regular for Australia, taking a T20I hat-trick (2020), and winning the 2021 T20 World Cup.
