Given what international duties end up doing to squads, and how ordinary an eight team competition is, here's what a six team competition could look like, not even accounting for imports, and anyone on Australian duty or being rested in brackets:

New South Wales
Hughes
Watson
Larkin
Henrqiues
Sangha
Sams
Lenton+
Green
Abbott
O'Keefe
Dwarshius

(Smith, Warner, Hazlewood, Cummins, Starc, Lyon)

Queensland
Bryant
Dunk
Lynn
Heazlett
Peirson+
Cutting
Wildermuth
Neser
Swepson
Doggett
Steketee

(Khawaja, Stanlake)

South Australia
Weatherald
Head
Ferguson
Cooper
Ross
Neilsen+
Valente
Botha?
K Richardson
Laughlin?
Mennie

(Carey, Zampa)

Tasmania
Wade+
McDermott
Doolan
Bailey
Silk
Milenko
Faulkner
Boyce
Rose
Meredith
Bird

(Paine)

Victoria
Harris
Harvey
Maddinson
Harper
White
Gotch+
Christian
Pattinson
Siddle
Beer
Boland

(Finch, Handscomb, Maxwell)

Western Australia
Bancroft+
Short
Whiteman
Cartwright
Turner
Phillipe
A Agar
Coulter-Nile
Kelly
Tye
Paris

(S Marsh, M Marsh, Stoinis, Richardson, Behrendorff)

I reckon that's already looking like a better competition. Over sooner with less teams too. South Australia is the only team that desperately needs imports, and there's no reason states could choose to have T20-only contracts, as they already have List A-only contracts.

Now lets also assume that CA did the logical thing at some stage and free'd up the calendar to allow Australia's best players to play. NSW vs Victoria would probably sell out the MCG


Victoria
Finch
Harris
Maxwell
Handscomb
Nabi
Bravo
Christian
Zampa
Pattinson
Siddle
Boland


NSW
Buttler
Warner
Watson
Smith
Henriques
Sams
Curran
Starc
Cummins
Lyon
Hazlewood

The Scorchers side will be the best in the comp after the ODI s are finished.

.
Bancroft
S Marsh
Cartwright
Turner
M Marsh
Agar
Willey
Coulter nile
Tye
Dorf
Qadir

Picked Willey ahead of Richardson to give the side more batting depth.
Feel like the side needs a leg spinner for variety, so qadir got picked ahead of Richardson.
Klinger just missed out on a spot to Cartwright.

Would play Richardson ahead of Willey, who doesn’t make any runs anyway.

I think you are right, Richardson will be in the team.
M Marshs batting form is a bit of a worry, with Richardson in the team as well he won't needed as bowling option.

Actually think they will leave qadir out and pick are extra batsman as well, probably whiteman.
