Aaron Finch retires from international cricket

In addition to having a fantastic career for Australia, Finch also helped his nation win the ICC Men's T20 World Cup for the first time in 2021. The long-time white-ball captain played in 254 international games for Australia in all forms, including five Tests, 146 One-Day Internationals, and 103 Twenty20 Internationals. Before retiring, Finch captained Australia in 55 ODIs and a record 76 men's T20Is. Given that I won't be playing again until the 2024 T20 World Cup, Finch said reporters at the MCG, "Now is the proper time to stand aside and allow the squad time to plan and develop towards that tournament."

Finch has accumulated 8,804 runs since making his international debut in a T20I match against England in January 2011, with 17 ODI hundreds and two T20I ones.
