Personnel
This is a list of every player to have played for Australia in the last year, and the forms of the game in which they have played.
Each year, Cricket Australia's National Selection Panel (NSP) names a list of 25 players for the coming year, from which selectors choose Test, One-Day and Twenty20 International teams. Salaries are based on a player ranking system decided by the NSP as well as match fees, tour fees and prize money for on-field success. The base retainer for the lowest ranked player is A$200,000 in 2011–12. Uncontracted players remain eligible for selection and can be upgraded to a Cricket Australia contract if they gain regular selection.
The 2011–12 list was announced on 7 June 2011.
