Australian cricket selectors


The Australian cricket selectors are a group of people appointed by Cricket Australia to be responsible for team selections for each of the Australian national sides in every form of cricket.
Current members for the Australian Men's Team are : Trevor Hohns, Justin Langer and George Bailey. Current members for the Australian Women's Team are : Shawn Flegler, Matthew Mott, Avril Fahey and Julie Hayes.
Australia's selection panel for the men's team was changed in November 2016 after a disappointing start to the summer which included back to back losses to South Africa at Perth and Hobart, the low point being the batting collapse for a total of 84 at Hobart. The preceding losses away to Sri Lanka in Tests and to the South Africans in One-dayers added further fuel to the fire forcing the ex-incumbent Rod Marsh to resign from his position of chairman of selection panel on the eve of 16 November 2016 taking moral responsibility for the debacle. Thereafter, on 17 November 2016, Trevor Hohns, a former Australian leg spinner and a former national selector from 1993 to 2006, was appointed as the interim chairman of the selection panel. In addition, Greg Chappell, Cricket Australia's then National Talent Manager, was appointed as an interim selector to complete the selection panel also comprising Mark Waugh and Australia's Head Coach Darren Lehmann.
In earlier seasons, there would be a selection panel appointed by the Australian Cricket Board which would pick players for home games and overseas tours. However, on the overseas tours selections would be done by a committee consisting of the captain, vice-captain and manager.
