What is a Playing XI?

A Playing XI is the group of eleven players selected to represent a side in a match. Roles vary by team and format: some players focus on batting, some on bowling, and all-rounders contribute in both disciplines. A wicketkeeper is usually identified separately because keeping is a specialist role.

Use roles as a planning guide

Role labels help show broad team composition, but do not guarantee a balanced side. Selection also depends on availability, fitness, pitch conditions, match format, batting depth, bowling variety and competition rules.

Keep team information accurate

Enter names as you want them to appear on the team sheet. This tool does not validate identities, eligibility or official registration. Check names and local requirements before sharing the exported list.
