Batting stars Josh Philippe, Alex Hales, Ben McDermott and Colin Munro and pace ace Jhye Richardson have all received maximum votes to win spots in the KFC BBL's team of the tournament.

The eight BBL head coaches were asked to pick their best XI from the regular season and that group of five players all received eight votes each.

Joining them in the official are Wes Agar (seven votes), Dan Christian, Rashid Khan, Mark Steketee, Adam Zampa (all six votes) as well as Glenn Maxwell (five votes).
