Cricket Australia XI is a domestic cricket team that plays matches against international teams touring Australia.

Cricket Australia XI played in Australia's limited-overs tournament from 2015–16 to 2017–18.[1] Before each tournament, a 14-man squad was selected from players with state contracts who had not been picked in their respective states' 14-man List A squads for that season's tournament. The aim was to develop their skills against top players. The addition of the Cricket Australia XI to the limited-overs cricket tournament expanded the competition to seven teams. The team made their List A debut against New South Wales on 5 October 2015, losing by 279 runs. They scored their first win five days later against Tasmania, winning by 3 runs.

Cricket Australia XI, often with more experienced personnel, now play first-class and T20 matches against touring teams, rather than playing in the one-day competition.
