Three Perth Scorchers, including the emerging all-rounder thrust into a captaincy role mid-season, have made the Big Bash League’s team of the tournament.

Aaron Hardie, wicketkeeper Josh Inglis and pace ace Lance Morris have all been named in the team, which is voted on by the league’s coaches.

Adelaide Strikers star Matt Short, who will face the Scorchers in Saturday’s blockbuster final, was voted the best captain in the competition.

Hardie and Inglis have played a key role in holding the Scorchers’ middle-order together through a season they have played almost entirely without two-time title-winning captain Ashton Turner.

The 24-year-old allrounder is the league’ second-highest run-scorer — behind only Short — with 328 at an average of 41. That is while holding down the key role at No.3 amid a turbulent season for the Scorchers’ openers.

Inglis scored 226 runs in 10 matches, playing every Scorchers match fresh off returning from Australia’s World Cup-winning campaign and a Twenty20 series in India.

He finished three runs behind Sydney Sixers and West Australian young gun Josh Philippe, but led the competition for dismissals behind the stumps, including a stunning diving catch against Brisbane Heat on Saturday and a running effort in the defeat to Philippe’s Sixers.

Morris missed the first two games of the season while he was in Australia’s Test squad for their first match against Pakistan in Perth, but finished his eight-game Big Bash stint with 13 wickets and a best of 5/24 in a searing spell against the Strikers.

Only four Big Bash League clubs had players make the side, and none were from the second-placed Sixers.

Melbourne Renegades dasher Jake Fraser-McGurk made the team, batting at No.4, after a season where white-ball champion Glenn Maxwell and The Sunday Times’ columnist Mitchell Johnson highlighted him as a key piece of Australia’s short-form future.

Short was named in the team alongside Adelaide teammates Chris Lynn and Jamie Overton — who have both left for tournaments overseas before the finals — as well as reborn leg-spinner Cameron Boyce.

Minor premiers Brisbane had English import Paul Walter, spinner Matthew Kuhnemann and equal-leading wicket-taker Xavier Bartlett.
