MELBOURNE :Australia T20 captain Aaron Finch announced his retirement from internationals on Tuesday, drawing a line under a career that yielded two World Cup trophies and more than 8,000 runs across formats.
At his home Melbourne Cricket Ground, where he savoured his first World Cup triumph in the 50-over tournament in 2015, Finch said it was time for a successor to make a mark. However, it was not enough to convince the stocky Victorian to continue, and he looked forward to spending time with his wife Amy and one-year-old daughter Esther.
The first season of the Amazon docu-series"The Test" revealed the pressure he felt behind closed doors as media and fans queried his place in the team.But in public Finch was untouchable in his easy-going confidence. He promised the runs would come and more success for Australia was around the corner.
