Top 5 bizarre choices by Australian selectors in recent times

#1 BBL's top run scorer and top wicket taker not good enough in T20Is?

Ben Dunk must be wondering what else he needs to do

The Big Bash League was expected to be a launch platform for dynamic players to enter the Aussie T20 squad. However, the Aussie selectors seem to think otherwise.

In the Big Bash 2016/17, Ben Dunk of Adelaide Strikers smashed 364 runs at an average of 52. He can keep wickets as well but the selectors felt Tim Paine, 14th in the list of run scorers this season is a better option.

There was also no room for the leading wicket-taker this season, Sean Abbott, who picked up 20 wickets at 16.15 for the Sydney-based franchise, Sydney Sixers. Instead, Jhye Richardson, a 20-year-old seamer who performed well in just the finals of the Big Bash was chosen.
