Australian star Aaron Finch said goodbye to ONE-day cricket late last year. This time the World Cup-winning captain has also said goodbye to T20 cricket. The 36-year-old batsman will never be seen playing for Australia again as he has not played Tests, or left international T20.

Finch announced his retirement at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Tuesday. Cricket Australia will have to find a new captain as the batsman has left T20 cricket. Finch has led Australia in 76 T20 Matches. Earlier, Pat Cummins was made the captain of that format after leaving the ODIs. Now it remains to be seen who comes to lead the T20.

Finch made his T20I debut for Australia against England in 2011. He has scored 3120 runs at an average of 34.29 in 103 T20 matches in a career of almost a decade. Strike rate 142.53. His innings of 172 against Zimbabwe is the highest individual innings in the history of international T20 cricket. He also has innings of 156 runs against England. In addition to two centuries in T20, Finch has 19 half-centuries.

Under Finch, Australia won the 2021 T20 World Cup title. This is the only title of The Aussies in T20. Finch also used to bat destructively in ODIs. He scored 5406 runs in 17 centuries in 146 ODIs. He also played five Tests for Australia.
