CAIRNS: Australia's One-Day International cricket captain Aaron Finch will retire from the format's international matches following Sunday's final game of a three-match series against New Zealand, Cricket Australia said on Saturday.
Finch, who has captained Australia 54 times in his 145 One-day matches, will continue to lead the country's Twenty20 side.
"It has been a fantastic ride with some incredible memories," said Finch.
"It is time now to give a new leader the best possible opportunity to prepare for and win the next World Cup."
Finch's retirement comes after he made a second ball duck in Australia's 113-run victory over New Zealand on Thursday, the fifth time in 13 One-day innings this year that he has failed to score a run. Agencies
