The five-time World Cup champions were the last nation to play cricket when their three-match series against New Zealand was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic in March. However, the four-month pause for cricket due to the coronavirus pandemic has fueled the desire of Aaron Finch, the Australia limited overs skipper as he plans to end on a high during the 2023 World Cup that will be played in India. Speaking to a radio station, Finch said, “My end date at this stage is the World Cup final of the 2023 World Cup in India. Finch admitted that he did miss cricket during the first month of the lockdown and was scared whether he had lost the motivation. Finch led Australia to the semi-finals in England last year and was part of the Michael Clarke-captained side that won the 2015 World Cup on home soil.
