Australian XI selector: Pick your Test side of the summer

Pick your Australian XI to face Pakistan in the Domain Test series using module below

How do the Australian selectors fit a country of cricketers into a final side to take the field in the first Test of the home summer?

In the next week, Justin Langer and Trevor Hohns will work together to squeeze a 14-man squad into an XI fit and ready to take on Pakistan in the first Test at the Gabba.

But will their selections match those of the Australian public?

The time has come once again for you to choose your batting order with the cricket.com.au official Team Selector tool.

Do you prioritise Test experience, or more recent Sheffield Shield form? Does Australia’s performance in the three-day tour match at Perth Stadium factor into your calculations?

The selector allows you to pick the final Australian XI in any way you see fit. Suggestions will be made as you get to each spot, but the final result is solely yours.

Don’t keep it to yourself either. Once you’ve locked in the final side, be sure to share to your various social media channels … and prepare for the animated discussion to begin.

While you're at it, why not also have a crack at stitching up as many teammates as possible by picking an 'Ultimate Club XI' on the MyCricket Facebook page.
