Australia got a shock before the World Cup, star all-rounder out of the tournament

 

Yes, if media reports are to be believed, Agar is suffering from calf injury. Recently, due to this injury, he could not even play the T20 series against South Africa. It was believed that he would be available before the World Cup, but this has not happened due to which now it is considered almost certain that he will be out of the World Cup.

Let us tell you that Agar's exclusion from the World Cup can be a big blow for Australia because this Australian player backs his team with both batting and bowling. Spin bowlers get help in India, so Agar could have made a good contribution for Australia. It is worth noting that if Agar is unable to participate in the tournament, then Tanveer Sanjha can be added to the team in his place. Australia may soon announce its final team for the World Cup.

If we talk about the World Cup, then from October 5, the first match between the current champion England and the previous World Cup runner-up team New Zealand will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The Australian team will start its journey in the tournament by playing against India on 8 October.
