Wes Agar height - How tall is Wes Agar?

His impressive domestic season across all formats saw him named the 2020 Bradman Young Cricketer Of The Year.

Agar returned to South Australia in mid-2019 and made his first-class debut on 18 October 2019, for South Australia in the 2019–20 Sheffield Shield season. In consecutive List A matches for South Australia in late 2019 he took 5 for 69 against Queensland and 5 for 40 against Western Australia. He continued to impress for South Australia throughout the Sheffield Shield, ending the season with 33 wickets in eight matches at 24.21, the most of anyone from South Australia and equal-second most in the competition. Agar also translated this form to the Big Bash League, taking 17 wickets in 12 matches for the Strikers.

Agar is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast bowler. He has focused on bowling quickly, bowling at speeds of up to 130 km/h when he was still a teenager. By 2017 he was aiming to bowl consistently at 140 km/h, a feat that most bowlers can't achieve. He is also a useful batsman, and Troy Cooley, the coach at the Centre of Excellence, has said that his older brother Ashton adopted his batting approach to improve his own batting.

Agar spent his childhood in Victoria but moved to South Australia to seek more opportunities. He represented the state at under-19 level and was named in Australia's national under-19 squad for the 2016 Under-19 Cricket World Cup before Australia pulled out of the tournament. He had a rookie contract with South Australia and played his first matches at state level in the 2016–17 Matador BBQs One-Day Cup, after which he also signed with the Adelaide Strikers to play in the Big Bash League. In 2017 he was not given another contract with South Australia and returned to Victoria.

Agar's form in the 2015–16 season brought him to the attention of both national and state selectors. During the 2016 winter he was included in the 17-man National Performance Squad to train for two months at Australia's Centre of Excellence, and he was also given a rookie contract with South Australia's state team. His first appearance for South Australia came in the 2016–17 Matador BBQs One-Day Cup, when he made his List A debut on 2 October 2016. During the tournament he took eight wickets in five matches, his consistent form earning him a contract with Big Bash League franchise the Adelaide Strikers. He made his Twenty20 debut for the Strikers in the 2016–17 Big Bash League season on 10 January 2017.

At the end of the 2016-17 season Agar did not sign another contract with South Australia, and instead decided to return to Victoria to try to win a contract with the Bushrangers. Despite this move, he remained with the Adelaide Srikers for BBL|07, but wasn't a regular member of the Strikers' team. He played his only match of the tournament against the Perth Scorchers, who his brother Ashton was playing for. This was the first time they had played against each other in a cricket match. Wes bowled two balls to Ashton, who hit them for two runs.

Agar moved to South Australia in 2015 to seek out more opportunities. He joined Adelaide University's grade cricket team for the 2015–16 season. He had only $500 to his name and had to work part-time on a dairy farm to earn enough money to stay in Adelaide. Despite still being only a teenager, he rose to prominence, increasing his bowling speed to as high as 130 km/h. This made him the second fastest uncontracted bowler in South Australia at the time.

Agar was selected to play for South Australia in the under-19 national championships and took ten wickets at an average of 22.60, including an impressive 5/37 against Tasmania. His form through the tournament meant that in December 2015 he was named in Australia's squad for the 2016 Under-19 Cricket World Cup. Australia later pulled out of the world cup, but Agar had played three matches while in the squad in the United Arab Emirates.

Agar played Victorian Premier Cricket for the Monash Tigers, also known as the Richmond Cricket Club, making his first XI debut for the club at the age of sixteen. Double stress fractures in his back interrupted his 2014–15 season, but he was still able to win a premiership with the Tigers' second XI. During this stage of his career he did not have the pace in his bowling or the physical build to reach higher success.

Wesley Austin Agar (born 5 February 1997) is an Australian cricketer. He is a fast bowler who has played for Australia's national youth team, and has played first-class and List A cricket for South Australia and Twenty20s for the Adelaide Strikers.
