National Selector Trevor Hohns said: “We have great confidence in the 17 players announced today as the Australian men’s team enters a busy year of high-quality cricket across all three formats which features, among other highlights, an ICC Twenty20 World Cup in India and a home Ashes series.
“There are two main reasons behind the size of the contract list announced today.
“Firstly, we have seen format specialisation become increasingly prevalent in recent seasons which, accordingly, has resulted in a broader group of players representing Australia, often beyond the initial list of contracted players at the start of each year.
Former Test vice-captain Travis Head is among five recent national representatives to be cut from Cricket Australia s contract list for the upcoming season, which sees budding allrounder Cameron Green included among a cohort that s been pared back to its bare minimum.
Green earns his place on the 17-man list – down from 20 players awarded deals last year – at the expense of fellow allrounder and Western Australia teammate Mitchell Marsh, while opener Joe Burns and the Test team s Mister Fixit Matthew Wade have also missed out.
Cricket Australia men s contract list 2021-22: Ashton Agar, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Aaron Finch, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Glenn Maxwell, Tim Paine, James Pattinson, Jhye Richardson, Kane Richardson, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, David Warner, Adam Zampa.
