Australian left-arm spinner Ashton Agar has been recalled to the Test squad for the upcoming final Test against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).
Agar, who made a stunning replacement for Nathan Lyon for the first Ashes test at Trent Bridge, has been included in the squad after making a strong performance in the domestic Matador One-Day Cup tournament and modest start to the Sheffield Shield competition, News.com.au reported.
Agar, who averages 44 in first-class cricket, scored an impressive 98 runs on debut while batting at No.11 at Trent Bridge, but was dropped after the next Test at Lord's.
The rest of the Australian squad remains unchanged, with Man-of-the-match Ryan Harris declaring himself a certain starter for Sydney despite the fast bowler's workload in Melbourne.
