Australian cricket great Shane Warne names his combined Ashes squad

Australian cricket great Shane Warne has treated cricket fans on Instagram live with a Q&A session by naming his combined Ashes squad.

Warne yesterday picked his all-time Test XI for the Australian players he played with, but now he's gone one step further and named a combined Ashes XI.

As was the case yesterday, Warnie specifically mentioned the team is only based off players he played with.

"I'm picking my combined Ashes team. These are only players I played with or against," Warne said.

"So, no Steve Smith or David Warner."

Matthew Hayden - 8,625 runs @ 50.73
