Australian captain Aaron Finch announces retirement from international cricket

New Delhi: The four-match Test series between India and Australia will begin on February 9 at the Nagpur ground, but before that, former Kangaroo team captain Aaron Finch has announced his retirement from international cricket on the morning of February 7. Finch said goodbye to the ODI format in the year 2022.

Under the captaincy of Aaron Finch, the Australian team won the T20 World Cup for the first time in the year 2021. At the same time, when the Kangaroo team won the ODI World Cup in 2015, Finch was also an important part of the team. Finch, who naturally bats aggressively, has played only 5 Test matches in his 12-year-long career

Finch said in a statement issued about his retirement, “I realize that I will not be able to play in the T20 World Cup in 2024. In such a situation, now is the right time for me to retire, so that the team can work on its future strategy and prepare another player.

“I take this opportunity to thank the Australian player, my team as well as my family and wife for supporting me all the time. At the same time, I also thank the fans from the bottom of my heart, whose constant support I kept getting.”

Winning the T20 World Cup in 2021 and the ODI World Cup in 2015 will remain the most wonderful memories of my career, he added.
