**Cricket Australia XI** is a domestic [cricket](/source/Cricket) team that plays matches against international teams touring Australia.

Cricket Australia XI played in Australia's [limited-overs tournament](/source/Australian_domestic_limited-overs_cricket_tournament) from 2015–16 to 2017–18.[1] 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](/source/List_A_cricket) 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](/source/List_A_cricket) debut against [New South Wales](/source/New_South_Wales_cricket_team) on 5 October 2015, losing by 279 runs. They scored their first win five days later against [Tasmania](/source/Tasmania_cricket_team), winning by 3 runs.

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

## Formation

Announcing the formation of the team in May 2015, [Cricket Australia](/source/Cricket_Australia)'s team performance manager [Pat Howard](/source/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."[2]

The team was selected from those young players who were not included in any of the six state squads for the [2015–16 competition](/source/2015%E2%80%9316_Matador_BBQs_One-Day_Cup). Cricket Australia's national talent manager [Greg Chappell](/source/Greg_Chappell) said he was confident the side would be competitive against the state teams.[3]

## 2015–16 Matador Cup season

Cricket Australia XI were overwhelmed in their first two matches of the [2015–16 Matador Cup](/source/2015%E2%80%9316_Matador_BBQs_One-Day_Cup).

Marcus Harris, who scored 84 from 94 balls, won the [man of the match](/source/Man_of_the_match) award.[6] They again lost heavily in their fourth match, when [Western Australia](/source/Western_Australia_cricket_team) made 5 for 347 and dismissed them for 101.[7] In their fifth match they replied to [Queensland's](/source/Queensland_cricket_team) 7 for 282 with 248 all out, [Hilton Cartwright](/source/Hilton_Cartwright) scoring 99 off 96 balls and winning the man of the match award.[8] In their sixth and final match [South Australia](/source/South_Australia_cricket_team) made 5 for 244 and dismissed Cricket Australia XI for 168.[9]
