Maximum squad size

School Boy/Girl Captain
Just wanted to know what the maximum number of players that are eligible to go on a tour.

Most of the time its 16 but at times ive seen a 17 man squad.

Is there any restriction?

I don't think there is. Because there are generally 2 or 3 test tours these days teams tend to have two replacement bowlers and two replacement batsman, making the squad size 15. I remember for the last Ashes tour Australia took 20 players.

EDIT: On second thoughts it might have been 18.
