10 Current cricketers who should retire from Test cricket
While T20 cricket in today’s time has seen an evolution in terms of the profusion of T20 freelancers or specialists, similarly even Test cricket now demands those players who earnestly have the pedigree to ascend.
4. Aaron Finch
At present by being one of the finest top-order batters in international white-ball cricket, unfortunately, Aaron Finch hasn’t been a star performing machine in the whites. So far the cricketer was only tried for a mere number of five Test matches in 2018 that eventually had also decided his insubstantial potential in the longest format. Hence, with the Australian Test team also getting brimmed with the emergence of talented openers like Will Pucovski and Marcus Harris, the veteran might think twice about engaging himself now in the Test matches.
Besides all this, there’s also plenty of other reasons for Aaron Finch to leave the longest format. With him already getting ready to turn 35, the Australian skipper might be largely looking to completely submerge himself in the upcoming two T20 World Cups and at the 2023 ODI World Cup. Further, with also handling the white-ball reigns of Australia, Test cricket might be the last thing now on his radar.
Hence, with the team management also eyeing to build a robust limited-overs squad for the course of the next three years, even the selectors would prefer Finch helming the white-ball proceedings rather than casting himself in the whites. Therefore, very soon Aaron Finch might completely drop his aspirations of playing Test cricket any further.
