English term or phrase: to be named to the end-of-season First All-Star Team
Dear all,

Can we translate :

[He was the first rookie in 15 years to be named to the end-of-season First All-Star Team]

as:

كان أول لاعب ناشىء يتم اختيارهفي نهاية الموسم كأفضل لاعب بفريق النجوم ؟؟

The problematic areas here is:

1 - to be named to.... Is it اختير? The preposition "to" here is misleading. I haven't found a good
reference for that
2 - the term "the end-of-season First All-Star Team"

Thanks a lot
