The ICC World XI squads for October’s Super Series one-dayers and the test match against Australia would be announced in Melbourne next week, Cricket Australia said here on Friday.
World XI selector Richard Hadlee, and the newly appointed World XI coach, will announce the star-studded final squads and team captains who will represent the rest of the world in cricket’s ultimate contest.
Joining them to provide an Australian reaction to the teams selected will be Australian one-day player, Brad Hogg. The World XI’s ODI uniform will also be unveiled and modelled for the first time on the same day, CA said.
The series pits the world’s top ranked team, Australia, against the World XI in three ODIs at Melbourne’s Telstra Dome, and a six-day Super Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, in a winner-takes-all challenge to be crowned ‘the best of the best’.
