Australia white-ball skipper Aaron Finch has announced his retirement from One-day International (ODI) cricket
He will play his final match against New Zealand in Cairns on September 11
Finch’s retirement from 50-over ODI cricket means he will not lead the Kangaroos in the 2023 World Cup next year in India
He will continue to be skipper of the side for the ICC T20 World Cup at home in October-November this year
Finch, who has played 145 ODIs for Australia, has struggled for form in recent games, scoring only 26 runs in his last seven innings, according to ICC
“It has been a fantastic ride with some incredible memories," he said in a statement
Equally, I have been blessed by all those I have played with and the many people behind the scenes,” he added
"It is time now to give a new leader the best possible opportunity to prepare for and win the next (50-over) World Cup," Finch said in a statement
"I thank all of those who have helped and supported my journey to this point," he said
