Meanwhile, both Cricket Australia (CA) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have investigated a death threat sent to Ashton Agar’s wife on social media, warning her that Agar should not travel to Pakistan.

The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age revealed that a message was sent to Ashton Agar’s wife and she immediately reported it to Cricket Australia and the Pakistan Cricket Board.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson of the team has confirmed that Ashton Agar received death threats but after the investigation by the team security, it was found that it was not a credible threat. It is believed that the message was received from a fake Instagram account, most likely from India. Also, Ashton Agar is being told to be in good spirits even after receiving death threats.
