SYDNEY: Australia’s Aaron Finch says he has little chance of returning to the Test arena due to the emergence of a crop of talented youngsters and with three limited-overs World Cups over the next three years leaving him little time to stake a claim. Finch, Australia’s limited-overs skipper, made his Test debut in 2018 against Pakistan in Dubai as fellow opener David Warner served a one-year suspension for his role in the Cape Town ball-tampering scandal. The hard-hitting batsman played the last of his five tests in the Boxing Day contest against India that year before being dropped and has since played only five first-class matches. “In terms of red-ball cricket, I don’t think it’s realistic to play test cricket again,” Finch was quoted as saying by Cricket Australia’s website. “Just based on two things: the amount of opportunity to play four-day cricket and force a claim, I think, is going to be really limited; and also the young batters coming through, there are some seriously good players in Australia, especially top-order batters. “The talent depth is really, really strong at the moment so I don’t think that’s an opportunity to be honest,” said the 33-year-old. Finch has already flagged the 2023 ODI World Cup in India as his career swan song but will need to focus on back-to-back Twenty20 World Cups in the next two years before that. Finch is in England leading a 21-man touring party for next month’s limited overs series which includes three Twenty20 Internationals and three one-dayers. “It’s always a place I’ve loved batting, right from when I first came over as a club player up in York,” said the former Surrey and Yorkshire player. “I think having played over here for six county seasons in T20 and a bit of four-day cricket helps.”
