As one of Australia's greatest ever white-ball players, Watson, 41, is famed for helping his nation win the 2007 ICC World Cup in the West Indies and then again eight years later on home soil. During his spectacular international career, the Australian star was guided by some famous captains, with fellow greats Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke in charge of those two World Cup victories and also playing a crucial role in the team's overall success.
Watson has also stated that Finch's place in the present lineup is as crucial and that the struggling opener must be kept on despite a recent abundance of poor scores. However, Watson thinks that Finch's contribution to the squad goes much beyond his runs at the top of the order and that the seasoned right-hander has to continue in Australia's starting XI.
