Former Check spin bowler Nathan Hauritz has hit out at Australia’s therapy of Ashton Agar.

Agar, 29, has been given the chilly shoulder by selectors regardless of being one in every of 4 specialist tweakers initially picked to tour India.

He and Mitchell Swepson missed out on the Nagpur Check. Then when Swepson needed to fly house for the delivery of his little one, the Aussies jettisoned Matt Kuhnemann into the touring squad from Queensland.

Kuhnemann was then picked to make his Check debut in Delhi, regardless of being a left-arm orthodox bowler, the identical as Agar.

Agar has performed 5 Check matches for Australia however has seemingly now fallen to, at greatest, fourth within the spin pecking order.

“Having a bloke (Kuhnemann) fly in, and even when he did bowl effectively within the nets for 3 or 4 days, it is irrelevant to me,” Hauritz informed ABC.

“It is like, what message are you sending to this child (Agar)? Choose him in a Check, take him on a tour after which you do not play him in both of the Checks.

“It is a fairly poor message… I am not a giant fan of it in any respect.”

Kuhnemann took two wickets – together with that of Virat Kohli – in his debut innings within the saggy inexperienced.
