Melbourne: Melbourne Stars all-rounder Maxwell has been named as skipper of the Big Bash League's (BBL) Team of the Tournament on Monday. Maxwell's side has qualified for the playoffs and will face Sydney Thunder to book a spot in the final. On the other hand, Sydney Sixers are already through to the final. "Glenn Maxwell has been named captain of the KFC #BBL09 Team of the Tournament, as voted by the @BBL coaches. Team: M. Stoinis, J. Inglis (wk), M. Wade, G. Maxwell (c), J. Wells, M. Marsh, T. Curran, R. Khan, D. Sams, H. Rauf," Cricket Australia tweeted.

The eight BBL coaches have selected the competition's first-ever official Team of the Tournament with the Melbourne Stars and Adelaide Strikers heavily represented with three players apiece. Marcus Stoinis who scored 612 runs, the most in the tournament, and Jonathan Wells, the third-highest scorer with 478 runs - make it to the team. Perth Scorchers wicketkeeper-batsman Josh Inglis has earned the nod to open alongside Stoinis, pushing Hobart's Matthew Wade to number three.
