FAWAD Ahmed's Test career looks over before it even began, with golden boy Ashton Agar back in the saddle as Australia's No.2 spinner.
Two years ago Agar was set to be splashed on the front of every cereal box in the country after the fresh-faced No.11 captured imaginations with his magical 98 on Test debut at Trent Bridge. 
Vanishing into the background after his meteoric teenage rise, Agar is finally back on the international scene as Australia's one-day spinner and the man set to partner Nathan Lyon in the dusty, turning traps of Bangladesh for the next Test tour in   October.
Meanwhile, Joe Burns has been picked to debut as an opener for the upcoming ODIs against England and Ireland in a strong pointer he's on the verge of replacing Chris Rogers or at the very least winning back the middle-order Test place he occupied during last summer.
Ahmed ousted Agar in the selection battle for this joint West Indies and Ashes squad, on the back of the leg-spinner's outstanding Sheffield Shield performances.
However, the Pakistani-born asylum seeker has failed to play a Test and has disappointed in the tour matches, with national selector Rod Marsh admitting Ahmed had fallen back down the pecking order.
It ends one fairy tale but gives life to an old one, with left-arm orthodox Agar, now 21, back in business for the 50-over campaign starting on   August 27 against Ireland.
"We've got quite a bit of time in the subcontinent coming up," said Marsh, referring to Bangladesh and tours against Sri Lanka and India over the next two years.
"We need someone going away from the bat [for the England one-dayers] so it was either a leg-spinner or Agar or [Steve] O'Keefe.
"We've opted for Ashton because we just reckon that with what's coming up [in Bangladesh], as a left-arm orthodox is going to be [vital]."Australian ODI squad: Steve Smith (capt), Ashton Agar, George Bailey, Joe Burns, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Patrick Cummins, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Marsh, James Pattinson, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade (wk), Shane Watson, David Warner, Cameron Boyce (T20I only).
