Australian cricket team captain Aaron Finch announced his retirement from one-day international cricket yesterday. Aaron Finch will retire with the 3rd ODI against New Zealand today.
Aaron Finch made his ODI debut in 2013 and has played 145 ODIs so far. He has scored 5,401 runs including 17 centuries and 30 fifties. In this case, Aaron Finch has commented about the next captain of the Australian team. About this he said,
I don’t think the Cape Town Test issue will stand in the way of Smith captaining Australia again. Smith captained the Adelaide Ashes Test when Test captain Cummins recently contracted the coronavirus. So I guess all old things are over.
I played a few games with Warner when he was captain. Warner faces a lifetime ban from captaining the Australian team. It should be removed. He can act not only as a player but also as a great coach for youngsters. This is important, he said.
Both Smith and Warner were banned for one year by the Australian Cricket Board for ball tampering with an abrasive substance during a Test match against South Africa in Cape Town in 2018. Bancroft, another player, was banned for 9 months. Smith was stripped of his captaincy following the incident. He was also banned from holding the captaincy for two years. Notably, Warner was banned from captaincy for life.
