Australia’s most successful captain in the history of T20I cricket, Finch will continue to play for Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League (BBL). Finch’s position in the Australian squad came under the scanner after the Men from Down failed to defend its T20 World Cup crown at home in 2022. Hosts Australia failed to make the knockout stage of the T20 World Cup last year.
Finch made his international debut in 2011 against England. In his glittering international career, Finch accumulated 8,804 runs. The veteran batter also smashed 17 ODI centuries and two T20I tons for Australia. In his last international match for Australia, Finch top-scored with a brilliant 63-run knock as the Men from Down Under defeated Ireland by 42 runs.
