Airtel CLT20 Finalists dominate All-Star XILee, Henriques and Hughes join NSW Blues teammate Warner in last preliminary selection
Hyderabad, 23 October 2009 - The NSW Blues' comprehensive semi-final victory over the Victorian Bushrangers has resulted in the Aitrel Champions League Twenty20 (CLT20) Finalist having three more players added to the latest All-Star XI
Fast bowler Brett Lee, all-rounder Moises Henriques and opening batsman Phil Hughes have all been included as selectors rewarded the Blues' imposing form throughout the latter stages of the tournament.
The All-Star XI was updated after the completion of last night's semi-finals, with NSW (four) and Trinidad & Tobago (three) not surprisingly holding seven of the 11 places in the team.
The CLT20 All Star XI is a team chosen by ESPN Star Sports commentators containing six batsmen, four bowlers and one wicket-keeper based on the Group and League stages of the tournament.
The final All-Star XI will be named after the Airtel Champions League Twenty20 Final tonight. The match between the NSW Blues and Trinidad & Tobago will be played at 2000 at Uppal Stadium.
To be considered for selection in the All Star XI, a player must be ranked in the top 20 for batting (runs scored), top 15 for bowling (wickets taken) or among the top four wicket-keepers (dismissals).
If a player is listed in more than one category, selectors have the flexibility to name them in either group.
All the statistics for the tournament can be found on the Airtel CLT20 website, www.clt20.com.
The full CLT20 All-Star XI is as follows:
