He was considered a serious chance to play in the series in Sri Lanka, despite not having been featured in a Test since 2017. He injured himself in Australia’s opening one-day international three weeks ago.
Agar’s absence means Mitchell Swepson will retain his place when the second Test begins on Friday.
Australia won by 10 wickets:-
Legspinner Swepson took three wickets in the first innings of the opening Test and two in the second as Australia registered a 10-wicket win.
Australia captain Pat Cummins said, ‘I was really happy with the Sweppo. “Some significant breakthroughs in the first innings and then on Friday, top-order wickets.
A Game Speed Controlled:-
He controlled the pace of the game, he had some batsmen bat really hard. I thought he bowled beautifully.”
Hollande has been included in the squad after suffering a finger injury. Also given the opportunity to play in Galle as part of an extensive touring party.
