Cricket in the modern times has almost reached every country of the world. Various countries including Uganda, PNG, Croatia, Czech Republic and others who have never played cricket in the history of the country have accepted the sport. Another major aspect that matters while playing cricket is the playing and sportsman spirit.

However, other than the sportsman spirit, Australian all-rounder Ashton Agar did something during the Sheffield Shield which will touch the hearts of the fans.
