I believe the school games gave our selectors an opportunity to come up with the best teams possible.

Peter Kiruma

Obviously my preference is to open the batting but I just hope I'm not seen by people as purely an opener. When I play overseas I rarely open the batting. I batted number four for Yorkshire for most of the season and, in one-day games, I often move into number three ... if the selectors can't find a place for me as an opener, that's fine, I'll take any opportunity in the order.

Phil Jaques

Most of our athletes will be competing this weekend and the seven potential reserves have been spoken to by the chairman of selectors about the process that will take place over the next few days and what they can expect.

Bill Davoren

We had the Colonial Cup competition where they had a five-team competition, then now we have the six-team competition on top of that so local players have twice the opportunity to show selectors what they have.

The Australian captain, the players and selectors have all suffered from thrashing too many soft opponents.

It isn't under my control, but I care, of course, and my natural feeling would be to be upset if I got picked on the wing. All I can do is play my football and see what happens when the selectors come to pick the side.

Anthony Minichiello

A majority of games are now on Fox Sports so selectors - and there are only four of them - don't need to be at every game.

Geoff Carr

I was brought up to think that if you stuff up when you're older, you're gone, and someone else would replace you. The guys are hanging on, and I don't blame them for that, but we've got to have some tough selectors to make some tough decisions.

Dean Jones

How he gets a game in the one-day squad, I don't know. So for him to get back in to the Test side creates even more questions about the selectors.

Mark Waugh

He has a feel for what (corporate) site selectors are looking for.

Mike Greene

We'll talk to the selectors about whether it might be best for him to play a month of county cricket before then.

Warren Craig

He has really improved this year and he is the guy they [selectors] need to really look after and play in the next couple of one-day series to get him to the World Cup.

Darren Lehmann

The normal practice is to select a 15-member squad. If the selectors decide to have an additional member, then the approval of the BCCI is needed.

Niranjan Shah

The selectors feel that these are the best possible players available for the coming series and most of them have performed well in the recent series against England.

Saleem Altaf

Darren asked the selectors not to consider him for the tour of Pakistan for personal reasons and we respected his wishes. With Liam Plunkett and James Anderson performing well in Pakistan and Simon Jones now available for selection again, the selectors feel the priority is for these players to gain as much experience of one-day cricket as possible ahead of the World Cup.

David Graveney

It would be nice to go through the series with the same 11 players. I'll be discussing the matter with the other selectors, but I'm not going to say what we'll do.

Duncan Fletcher

England have been consistent in the past where if someone has made themselves unavailable for some of the winter, then they have been made unavailable for the whole winter by the selectors.
