Lucknow Super Giants: Northamptonshire will be without the services of Ashton Agar for the Vitality Blast after the Australia spinner was ruled out with a calf strain.

After a successful stint last season, Agar was set to come back to Wantage Road with the aim of going one step further than the quarter-finals that the Steelbacks achieved last year, but the injury has now prevented the Australian from returning.

“I’m extremely disappointed to be missing this year’s Vitality Blast with Northamptonshire,” Agar said.
