Australia's T20 World Cup-Winning Skipper Aaron Finch Announces Retirement From International Cricket

Aaron Finch, the captain of Australia’s T20 World Cup-winning team, has announced his retirement from international cricket. The opening batsman had retired from the 50-over format in September of last year, but it was anticipated that he would return to the shorter form given his lack of importance in Test cricket.

Finch has unexpectedly announced his departure from international cricket. The skipper of Australia’s T20 World Cup-winning team retired from ODI play in 2022. The Big Bash League will continue to feature Finch as a player.

In an interview with Cricket.com.au, Aaron Finch emphasized the importance of giving the new skipper and opener ample time before the 2024 T20 World Cup. In June, West Indies and the USA will host the ICC competition.

“You must give the new opening batter and whoever takes over as team captain adequate time and space to settle into their positions and a tremendous opportunity to make the team their own over the following 18 months. I’ve had the bloody good fortune to play for 12 years, and I believe the time is right for me to leave the team at this point,” Finch said.
