It's been one thing for Wes Agar to spend the initial not many days of his debut Australian camp with his older sibling Ashton Agar, yet it'll be very another a few the world's best bowlers of fast bowling contact down in Brisbane one week from now to work close by him.&nbsp;

Wes Agar, who was for this present week one of six players called up to Australia's extended starter squad for the impending white-ball voyages through the Caribbean and Bangladesh, was only 13 when NSW pace pair Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc made their worldwide bows.&nbsp;

Wes Agar accepts that preparation close by Australian pacers Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc will be a "massive learning curve" for him. He has been picked in the 29-member Australian squad for the limited-overs visit through the West Indies and Bangladesh.&nbsp;

In a conversation with Australian based website called cricket.com.au. Wes Agar told:

“Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc are the best in the world, so to watch them and to work with them and train alongside them and just to be in this squad with them is a massive learning curve for me," said the 24-year-old. To realize that I'm close by them in the squad currently is something that truly spurs me, and ideally, it assists me with realizing the stuff to contend at the high level."&nbsp;

Wes Agar said the possibility of one-day playing worldwide cricket was changed from a dream to an unmistakable reality when he watched Ashton Agar score his amazing 98 from No.11 on debut in the 2013 Ashes.&nbsp;

A significant individual from the Adelaide Strikers and the South Australian arrangement, Wes Agar has dazzled in the homegrown T20s, with 41 wickets from 32 matches at 23.8 and an economy rate of 8.81.&nbsp;

"You've got to prepare for every situation and for me, I'm preparing to play and perform at my best if needed," he said.

"Obviously coming off the off-season you've got to be careful going into (full training), but we know there's a tight turnaround heading off to the West Indies, so for me to get ready it's a matter of managing my body and keeping my loads up, and gradually progressing that but doing it in a decent time frame.

"I've had a really good off-season and worked a lot on my fitness and it's held me in good stead. Hopefully, the body stays strong and I'll be ready to go if needed."

Cricket: Aussies name six additions to the preliminary squad for upcoming tours

Cameron Bancroft is out of quarantine and, in the wake of being "brutally cold" on his appearance in Durham a week ago, the Australian batsman is starting to defrost and open up to another period of English county cricket. “I wouldn’t say the mornings have been red-hot,” he says dryly at Durham’s serene Riverside ground, “but they’re significantly warmer than when I got here and the wind was coming in from the Arctic.”

Bancroft gives a burning understanding of the unforgiving pressing factors that shadow elite game when he was requested that he return us to the second day of his Test debut against England at the Gabba in Brisbane in November 2017. After England had been bowled out for 302 in their first innings, Bancroft left with David Warner to confront Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad. “I remember feeling so nervous that I couldn’t control my body,” Bancroft reveals. “I had a lot of stress because I wanted to do really well and it was a dream of mine to play Test cricket for Australia.”

“I invested too much to the point where I lost control of my values. What had become important to me was being liked, being well valued, feeling really important to my teammates, like I was contributing something by using sandpaper on a cricket ball. That’s something I don’t think I even understood until that mistake happened. But it’s part of the journey and a hard lesson I needed to learn.” – said Cameron Bancroft in a conversation with The Guardian.

Cameron Bancroft has proposed that Australian bowlers were likewise aware of the sandpaper plot in the Cape Town Test against South Africa in 2018. An interior investigation at the time by Cricket Australia found that David Warner asked Bancroft to rub sandpaper ready, while captain Steve Smith chose to choose to disregard.

Thus, Cameron Bancroft, David Warner, and Steve Smith were suspended. In any case, in a surprising disclosure, Bancroft has implied that the Australian bowlers were likewise very much aware of the sandpaper ploy. Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Marsh, and Nathan Lyon were the Australian bowlers who included in the scandalous Test match.

In the wake of being trapped in 2018, Steve Smith said the team's "leadership group" knew about the thing that was going on, and no names had come out at that point. However, Cameron Bancroft has now recommended that the bowling department thought about the plot.

"Yeah, look, I think, yeah, I think it’s pretty probably self-explanatory," an uneasy Bancroft told The Guardian when asked about whom else knew about the ploy apart from the banned players.

"Look, all I wanted to do was to be responsible and accountable for my own actions and part. Yeah, obviously what I did benefits bowlers, and the awareness around that, probably, is self-explanatory. I guess one thing I learned through the journey and being responsible is that’s where the buck stops. Had I had better awareness I would have made a much better decision," the batsman added further.

In cricketing terms, “it makes me feel a little sh*t. I was just settling and then, of course, it was lost," Bancroft said of his suspension.

Cameron Bancroft last played for Australia in the 2019 Ashes Test against England. The batsman acknowledges he cushioned his opportunity to make a long vocation in international cricket after his demonstration in the Cape Town Test. Cameron Bancroft has played 10 Tests, accumulating 446 runs at an average of 26.3, including three fifties. The batsman had played an amazing thump of 77 in Cape Town in the scandalous Test in 2018 and once named it as his best thump in international cricket.

Cameron Bancroft hints Australian bowlers were aware of the sandpaper plot

Darren Lehmann promised Australia won&#39;t be under-prepared for their tour of Bangladesh after a pay dispute left them temporarily unemployed -- and said the enforced break may have even done them good.

But the coach said he would be sure to put his 14-man squad through their paces at a one-week training camp in tropical Darwin before they leave for the two-Test tour next Friday.

The camp represents the first formal cricket environment for Australia&#39;s top internationals since they were booted out of the Champions Trophy in June.

Since then, they were among about 230 players who were technically unemployed for more than a month over a long-running pay dispute, which was finally resolved last week.

But despite having only a week to prepare for their first Test tour of Bangladesh in more than a decade, Lehmann said the disruption was not a concern.

&quot;Until you get there you don&#39;t know, but we&#39;re squeezing enough in this next week, and guys have been doing stuff with their (home) states,&quot; Lehmann told the official Australian cricket website late Thursday.

&quot;Even through the MoU (pay negotiations) they were training and preparing as though they were playing.

&quot;So in terms of fitness, they are probably ahead of the game, they&#39;re really strong and fit which is really pleasing.

&quot;Now it&#39;s just getting their skills up to the required level before we leave.&quot;

Lehmann said the break from playing and touring had even benefited some players by refreshing them mentally and physically heading into the Bangladesh tour.

&quot;The break&#39;s been good for some of them, they&#39;ve been at the back of a long summer with a lot of travel in the schedule so sometimes a refreshed mindset is really important,&quot; Lehmann said.

&quot;They&#39;ve all come in really excited to get going again.&quot;

Lehmann added: &quot;The Darwin camp wickets are very similar to what we&#39;ll get in Bangladesh -&ndash; they&#39;re low and they&#39;re slow, and they will spin.

&quot;In terms of conditions and the heat and humidity that we&#39;ll face when we get there, it&#39;s great preparation especially for those who have come out of winter in the southern states (of Australia).&quot;

&quot;I think we&#39;ll be fine, we&#39;ve got a lead-up two-day game on a wicket which will be very similar to what we encounter for the first Test then we&#39;ve got training sessions before that Test starts as well.&quot;

Australia will&nbsp;play Tests in Dhaka from August 27-31 and Chittagong from September 4-8, their first in Bangladesh since 2006.
