One of the most experienced players on the Australian side, Aaron Finch announced his retirement from T20 Internationals on February 7, Tuesday, putting an end to his 12-year long international career. Finch announced his ODI retirement last year in September 2022, but continued leading his side in the shortest format.

Finch retires from Twenty20 cricket following 103 appearances for Australia, where he captained the team in 76 of those games. With 3120 runs scored at an average of 34.28 and a strike rate of 142.5, he retires as Australia’s top run scorer in the format. The highest individual score in the format is his career-best 172 against Zimbabwe in 2018. He previously held the mark with his 156 against England in 2013. He participated in five Test games for Australia as well.

“Realising that I won’t be playing on until the next T20 World Cup in 2024, now is the right moment step down and give the team time to plan and build towards that event,” Finch told reporters at the MCG on Tuesday (February 7).
