Can not use type 'list' as variable type in ionic project

Hi! I am using angularfire2 in my ionic project. I need to get data in list to use querying-lists If I understood correct there is no lists in typescripts so writing

  public players: list<Player[]>;
  this.players = db.list<Player>('Players')

I get an error

[ts] Cannot find name ‘list’.

is there any way to use lists in ionic project ?
