Pick the best players, regardless of age.

With several voices calling for a cleanout, Hussey said it was time to look at all players, not just those touted as future stars.

“First of all, pick the very best XI players that we’ve got in the country, regardless of age,” Hussey told cricket.com.au.

“In my mind that’s the most important because say if we lose again then there’s more and more talk about change then the confidence of the players will go down even more.

“I certainly wouldn’t be looking at clearing everyone out, bringing in all the youngsters and making wholesale changes.

“If you’re picking guys who are not quite ready they’re going to be inconsistent with their performances and we’re going to lose more Test matches.”
