Ageas Bowl prodigy handed Ashes debut
The Ageas Bowl International Cricket Academy has its first Ashes graduate after Ashton Agar was handed his Test debut against England today.
Slow left-armer Agar has been playing for Henley in the Home Counties Premier League while training at the Ageas Bowl during the week as part of Cricket Australia's tie-up with Hampshire Cricket.
The 19 year-old was awarded his Baggy Green Cap by Glenn McGrath before the first Test at Trent Bridge this morning.
