'''Cricket Australia XI''' is a domestic [[cricket]] team that plays matches against international teams touring Australia.

Cricket Australia XI played in Australia's [[Australian domestic limited-overs cricket tournament|limited-overs tournament]] from 2015–16 to 2017–18.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cricket.com.au/teams/Cricket%20Australia%20XI%20Mens/dxB_vBjg3k23CDJw6BKZtw |title=Cricket Australia XI Men |work=Cricket Australia |access-date=10 November 2017 |archive-date=10 November 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171110004514/http://www.cricket.com.au/teams/Cricket%20Australia%20XI%20Mens/dxB_vBjg3k23CDJw6BKZtw |url-status=dead }}</ref> Before each tournament, a 14-man squad was selected from players with state contracts who had not been picked in their respective states' 14-man [[List A cricket|List A]] squads for that season's tournament. The aim was to develop their skills against top players. The addition of the Cricket Australia XI to the limited-overs cricket tournament expanded the competition to seven teams. The team made their [[List A cricket|List A]] debut against [[New South Wales cricket team|New South Wales]] on 5 October 2015, losing by 279 runs. They scored their first win five days later against [[Tasmania cricket team|Tasmania]], winning by 3 runs.

Cricket Australia XI, often with more experienced personnel, now play [[first-class cricket|first-class]] and [[Twenty20|T20]] matches against touring teams, rather than playing in the one-day competition.

==Formation== Announcing the formation of the team in May 2015, [[Cricket Australia]]'s team performance manager [[Pat Howard]] said, "We know we've got the talent and we want to be able to expose these players to more high-pressure game time to help the states and to help the overall national cause."<ref>{{cite news| publisher=ESPNcricinfo | first=Daniel |last=Brettig |access-date=11 October 2015| title=Fringe talent to form new Matador Cup team |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/story/874141.html |date=12 May 2015}}</ref>

Cricket Australia's national talent manager [[Greg Chappell]] said he was confident the side would be competitive against the state teams.<ref>{{cite news| publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=11 October 2015| title=Young guns named in new Matador Cup squad|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/story/922931.html |date=24 September 2015}}</ref>
