Stepping Down From Australia's ODI Captaincy Was A Noble Gesture By Aaron Finch, Believes Ricky Ponting

By IANS News September 19, 2022 • 15:24 PM View: 762

Former Australia skipper and two-time World Cup-winning captain Ricky Ponting applauded opener Aaron Finch for stepping down from the ODI leadership role as well as the format, calling it "a really noble thing".

Since his debut in 2011, Finch played 146 ODIs for Australia, averaging 38.89 with the bat and his tally of 17 hundreds in ODIs is the third-most by any player from the country. But an average of just 12.42 in ODIs this year, including just one fifty, meant the writing was on the wall for Finch on his ODI future.
